Note Date: 9//28/2020 -  Bishop's Installation Vespers tonight and Mass Tomorrow morning
Dear friends,

Great news!! With the help of Sr. Sharon at the diocese, they are able to fit an ASL interpreter on screen for the Livestream of the Installation Mass for our new Bishop and Vespers. Sorry for the last minute notice, but I hope you can still join. 

The Installation Vespers will take place TODAY, September 28th at 7pm.

As you know, this is a major and important event for everyone in the Diocese of Joliet, and we thank God that they were able to make this event accessible to everyone. See you there!! 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼 I’m not sure if I included everyone in the email, feel free to share the info and the link with your friends, especially those who haven’t been to church in a while. 

P.S. They did tell me to clarify that in the extreme circumstance that we can’t see the interpreter on the screen, it would be due to a technical difficulty, not because they didn't have it. Although, they did assure us that everything should be working fine. 

His peace,
Fr. Ramon Sida III
