​OUR CHRISTMAS MASS SCHEDULE
 
Please take a moment to look over our ​Christmas Mass schedule.  We are grateful to have a Parochial Vicar with us.  Fr. Feisthamel's presence allows us more flexibility in planning our Christmas Masses.  Even with this flexibility, we will continue to rotate the Mass times fairly in our parishes from year to year.  If, in the future, we no longer have a Parochial Vicar, we will return to the Christmas schedule we've followed in recent years.
 
We look forward to celebrating the birth of Christ with you.
 
God's peace,
 
Fr. Frisoni

​LISTENING TOGETHER TO LIVE THE MISSION
​Dear Family,
 
There are some important updates about the Remade for Mission process in our diocese.  A new Bishop, the Most Rev. Mark W. O'Connell, will begin his ministry on Friday, December 5, 2025.  Many parts of the "Remade for Mission" plan are now paused as we welcome Bishop O'Connell to the diocese.  Parishes no longer need to form a Working Group.  Moreover, the April 1, 2026 deadline to send recommendations to the Bishop has been removed.
 
However, one key part of the plan continues:  listening sessions.  These gatherings help us talk and pray together about our mission as followers of Jesus.  They are a chance to share ideas, ask questions, and grow as a family in Christ.  In November, we will host two listening sessions with the theme:  "What is our mission, and how are we fulfilling it?"
 
Saturday, November 15 — 9:00AM to 11:00AM
St. Paul the Apostle Parish Center
 
Tuesday, November 18 — 6:00PM to 8:00PM
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish Center
 
We hope you'll come and be part of the conversation.
 
God's peace,
 
Fr. Frisoni
​WEEKDAY MASSES RETURNING THIS ADVENT
Dear family,
 
After hearing from our Pastoral Council, Finance Council, and parish team, I am pleased to announce that weekday Masses will return to our three parishes beginning in Advent.  Fr. Feisthamel will be celebrating these Masses.
 
Here is the new weekday Mass schedule beginning on Tuesday, December 2, 2025:
 
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church — Tuesdays at 8:00AM 
Church of St. Adalbert — Wednesdays at 8:00AM 
St. Paul the Apostle Church — Thursdays at 7:00PM and Fridays at 8:00AM
 
Eucharistic Adoration will now be held on the second Thursday of each month from 6:00 to 7:00PM, just before the Thursday evening Mass at St. Paul's.
 
Beginning in January, the Charismatic Renewal Mass will move from the fourth Monday to the fourth Thursday of each month, still at 7:00PM at St. Paul's.  The Charismatic Renewal Masses for Monday, November 24 and Monday, December 22 will still take place as scheduled.  (These remain because the fourth Thursday of November is Thanksgiving Day, and the fourth Thursday of December is Christmas Day!)
 
We look forward to gathering with you in prayer as we begin the season of Advent.
 
God's peace,
 
Fr. Frisoni
