Announcements for Saturday & Sunday, May 1 & 2, 2021 Fifth Sunday of Easter
1. Welcome to St. Genevieve Catholic Church, my name is _______________, I will be your lector for today's Mass. Out of respect for God and your fellow parishioners please turn off or mute all cell phones and other devices.
2. If you are a visitor or new member to our parish, please stand and allow us to welcome you. (Pause) Only if someone stands, continue to read after any applause. Please sign our guest book in the main entrance of the church.
3. The day has finally arrived! Governor Edwards and our St. Tammany Parish leaders have lifted the mask mandate. We are no longer required to wear a mask to attend Mass. If you feel more at ease with mask on, please feel free to do so. If you feel safer staying at home and enjoying Mass on our Youth Ministry Facebook stream or on Tv, please do so. However, please note, the dispensation from attending Mass will expire with the celebration of the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, known as Corpus Christi, on June 6. We look forward to seeing everyone "come back to the table."
4.All Readings and songs for Mass can now be found in the Weekly Bulletin. If you need a bulletin, please raise your hand and an usher will bring one to you.
