Note Date: 4/4/2018 - Guideline for receiving our Lord in Holy Communion
We all do believe that the Eucharist is the true Body and Blood of our Jesus Christ and that our sharing in the Eucharist is the sign of our unique Faith. The Church invites you (Catholic) to receive Holy Communion. If you can not receive Communion, you can still come forward for a blessing... by using this approach, when you request for a blessing, simply cross your arms over your chest.

Note Date: 1/24/2018 - Deaf Catholic Community at Facebook
Note from Fr. Mike Depcik:
Dear Friends,
I am pleased to inform that, through the wonders of technology, we have started “livestreaming” our ASL Mass on Facebook
We know that many dioceses are unable to provide a Mass in American Sign Language for Deaf Catholics. In response we are making an ASL Mass available online to watch. Every Sunday at 11:30 am we are livestreaming a Mass in ASL from Holy Innocent’s church in Roseville via Facebook.
The Mass can also be viewed as a replay on Facebook anytime afterwards. Attendees do not need to register on Facebook to “attend” this Mass, but it is a great platform for us to evangelize the gospel.
The Mass can be found at the following web address if you are interested: https://www.facebook.com/deafmass. Please share this news with the Deaf Catholic community in your area especially those who are not able to go to church due to health issues, etc.
Because this is still a new project, we appreciate your patience and understanding with our mistakes and glitches in our videos or Facebook page. We are trying to make improvements and we welcome your feedback and suggestions.
Thank you and God bless.

Protection Act
*******>>> HIPPA is a Federal Government law.<<< *******
*******>>> HIPPA is a Federal Government law.<<< *******
This
means that a hospital cannot give out ANY information about a patient in the
hospital, without the patient’s permission. So, often, a visitor goes into the
hospital, hospital won`t tell him/her what room your love one in.
After the patient leaves the hospital, he/she complains that no priest or no deacon came to visit them! Priests/ Deacons/Others did not come because the hospital never told them!
If you or a loved one is in the hospital and wants a priest/deacon/others visit,
PLEASE have someone in the family contact them at the church
or Fr. Mark immediately!
