Holy Family Catholic Community & SSM Health to collaborate to offer monthly Mass
This May, Holy Family Catholic Community and SSM Health are collaborating to bring the gift of the Catholic Mass to St. Agnes Hospital.
Beginning on Friday, May 2, a member of the Holy Family Priest Team will celebrate Mass with the public in the St. Agnes Chapel at noon the first Friday of each month. The time was selected to accommodate the schedules of as many SSM Health staff members as possible. However, one does not need to be a staff or visitor to the hospital to attend. The Mass is open to the general public, and people of all faiths are welcome.
“Holy Family Catholic Community and SSM Health are rooted in a common mission of spreading and sharing the love of Christ through our actions, be they through teaching people about their faith, or helping people heal through God’s grace. We seek to reveal the presence of God in our lives. Offering Mass, the source and the summit of the Catholic faith, at St. Agnes Hospital is one way we can work together to live out this mission,” the Very Rev. Ryan J Pruess, pastor of Holy Family Catholic Community, said.
In the Catholic faith, the First Friday Mass is special, as it is devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and making reparations for sins. As with every Mass, individuals will also have the opportunity to have the Mass offered for a specific intention, such as in memory of a loved one, special prayers needed, or in thanksgiving for prayers answered. The purpose of this is to bring to the intended person the fruits of the Mass and the power of community prayer. Mass Intentions are $20 each, and must be scheduled with the Holy Family Parish Office by calling (920) 921-0580. Please note that the number of intentions offered per Mass is limited.
A partir del viernes 2 de mayo, la Comunidad Católica de la Sagrada Familia se asociará con SSM Health para ofrecer una Misa mensual del Primer Viernes al mediodía en la Capilla de Santa Angés, ubicada en 430 E. Division St. Todos están invitados a asistir a esta misa. Si bien se puede acceder a la capilla desde cualquiera de las entradas del Hospital Santa Inés, la más cercana es por el vestíbulo de la entrada este. Si desea hacer una intención de Misa para esta Misa, comuníquese con Terry en la Oficina Parroquial de la Sagrada Familia al (920) 921-0580, ext. 101.
