All Masses are held in the church unless otherwise stated in the bulletin. 6:30pm the night before the Holy Day 12:05pm afternoon of the Holy Day First Saturday Mass 8am Followed by Confessions To honor our Blessed Mother and to fulfill her request at Fatima, Portugal, we offer a Mass each 1st Saturday to make reparation for the sins of the world. How necessary that is - especially today! Our Lady of Fatima asks us on the 1st Saturdays: to attend Mass, pray 5 mysteries of the Rosary, to spend 15 minutes in quiet prayer to make reparation for sin against the Sacred Heart of Jesus and her Immaculate Heart, and to go to the Sacrament of Confession. In light of that, Confessions will be after the 8am Saturday Mass to give people a chance to fulfill our Lady’s requests. The Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet will be prayed before the Mass. Please try to attend especially those who normally can’t come to weekday Mass because of work and family obligations. The Great Promise of the Five First Saturdays On July 13th 1917, Our Lady of Fatima, after showing the three Fatima seers a vision of hell, she said “You have seen hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my immaculate heart… I shall come to ask for… the Communion of reparation on the First Five Saturdays.” On December 10, 1925, Our Lady said to Sister Lucia “Look, my daughter, at my heart, surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful [Children of God] pierce it at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You at least try to console me with your prayers and sacrifices. I promise to assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary for their salvation, all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, shall confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to me.” Find more info go to www.salvemariaregina.info/FirstSaturdays.html Eucharistic Gifts Family or friends having a Mass celebrated for a living or deceased person are encouraged to participate by bringing the gifts of bread and wine to the Priest at Mass. Please be in church ten minutes prior to the Mass and identify yourselves to one of the Ushers. PLEASE NOTE People are reminded not to leave the church during the distribution of Holy Communion. Those who do so, show lack of faith, lack of reverence for the Eucharist, and lack of respect for those who are receiving Holy Communion. (Emergencies are understandable.)
