The Catholic bishops of the United States are pleased to offer once again to the Catholic faithful Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship (en Español), our teaching document on the political responsibility of Catholics. This statement represents our guidance for Catholics in the exercise of their rights and duties as participants in our democracy. We urge our pastors, lay and religious faithful, and all people of good will to use this statement to help form their consciences; to teach those entrusted to their care; to contribute to civil and respectful public dialogue; and to shape political choices in the coming election in light of Catholic teaching. The statement lifts up our dual heritage as both faithful Catholics and American citizens with rights and duties as participants in the civil order.

Starting September, the regular Daily Mass schedule will change. Public Daily Masses will be offered Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays. Most Tuesdays and Thursdays during the school year, there will not be public daily Mass. As the new chaplain at Delone Catholic High School, Father Schlaline will be celebrating Mass at Delone most Thursdays. Tuesdays are a day off in which he celebrates Mass privately. As always, check the bulletin regularly for special Masses and other changes to the schedule- such as feast days, funerals, etc.

This fall, we will be replacing the purple "We Celebrate" Hymnal with a new, permanent "The Parish Hymnal." If you would like to sponsor a new hymnal with a bookplate “In Honor of” or “In Memory of” your loved ones, the cost of a hymnal is $25. Order forms, as well as a sample of the new Parish Hymnal, are available in the vestibule. You may return your order form in the collection basket or drop it off at the Parish Office. Orders are due no later than October 20, 2024.
