REMINDERS:

CLEAN-UP DAY
Saturday, June 13th - 9 am
Volunteers are prayerfully needed to come help with cleanup on the grounds following Thursday night's devastating storms. If possible, please bring rakes, chainsaws, saws, and other tools/equipment that are needed to cut up downed trees and broken branches. THANK YOU!



HOLY MASS SCHEDULE FOR SUNDAY, JUNE 14th
At the present time, the regular Holy Masses will still be celebrated as usual:
*8 am - St. Joseph Oratory Latin Mass (in the church)
*9 am - Holy Mass in English (in the monastery chapel)
*10:30 am and 12 pm - Holy Masses in Polish (in the church)



IX Pilgrimage and Blessing of Polish Truckers
Sunday, June 14th
Holy Mass (in Polish) at 12 pm, followed by the Blessing of Trucks and procession will still take place this Sunday.

THERE WILL NOT BE A PICNIC, NOR WILL THE REGULAR SUNDAY DINNERS BE SERVED IN MILLENNIUM HALL, as there is currently no electricity here. Visitors are invited to bring their own food and beverages.

Those wanting to have their trucks blessed are reminded not to attach trailers to their rig due to space and parking limitations.

(Saturday, June 13th - Overnight trucker camping at the shrine has been cancelled, as there is currently no electricity on the shrine grounds.)



PHONES/INTERNET
The monastery office phones/internet are currently down due to no electricity; messages (emergency only) may be sent through Facebook Messenger for the interim.



Please use caution when traveling through the 61st Avenue/Broadway neighborhood of Merrillville near the shrine and Andrean High School, as this was one of the areas hardest hit by the tornado and severe weather.



We also would appreciate everyone's help in sharing this information on their pages and perhaps contacting members of the shrine community who do not use Facebook to advise them of these updates.



PLEASE CONTINUE TO VIEW OUR FACEBOOK PAGE FOR UPDATES! Another round of thunderstorms is predicted for the Merrillville area beginning late Saturday afternoon (June 13th) into Sunday morning (June 14th). We also ask that you keep the shrine community and those in Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland affected by the recent severe weather in your prayers!

"Be not afraid" - St. Pope John Paul II

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
