What's going on within our Parish?

Welcome back to Church!! 

Below are the Bishop’s directives for us as we are going to begin having Masses again.

This pdf explains the guidelines we have to follow before, during, and after Masses.

10am Mass WILL still be Livestreamed on our Facebook page!

We will have Mass daily at 7am throughout the week for those that wish to celebrate the Eucharist without the larger crowds on the weekend.

Greetings to the Holy Family family:

God love ya.

As you know, the COVID cases are surging in our country and in our area, and they keep striking closer and closer to our parish home ... and so, out of an abundance of caution and compassion, I feel we must make the following decisions:

•We URGE everyone who is in anyway at all vulnerable to stay home and watch the livestream Mass, or pray a rosary while pondering the Sunday Scripture. YOU are the persons, in particular, that the Bishop is dispensing from your Sunday obligation. Stay safe and take care of yourselves and please God, the cases will diminish and medical help will be on the way soon.

•We will continue with all of our public liturgies but we urge all those attending to follow the safety protocols.

•All parish related/sponsored activities for this week 11/29 - 12/5 are canceled. This includes any and all PSR, Confirmation, RCIA etc.
For all of the various, private groups (prayer groups, men's/women's groups) we encourage you to cancel them for now. But if you want to meet, please be very careful.

•The parish office is locked down and no visitors are allowed. The essential work is still being carried out.

Sisters and Brothers, we will take this a week at at time and I'll be in touch.

Let us hold this situation and one another in prayer ... and special prayers for all those living with COVID and for those who work to combat it.

Pax Christi, Fr. Matt and Parish Staff

The Parish Office is still closed at this time.

Please drop your donations in our mailbox at the office, in the offeratory basket in the front of chapel in church (if you attend Mass) or mail them to us at:

Holy Family Catholic Church

218 S. Maple Ave

Hannibal, MO 63401

Sacrament of Reconciliation:  Saturdays at 4:30pm to 5:00pm

The Church is a place to pray, not a place a place to congregate and visit at this time. Please respect others when you are in church.

The safety measures in place are in response to recommendations from the CDC, Bishop McKnight and Fr. Mike. Our prayers are that you will choose to stay at home with your loved ones and continue with your Lenten devotions as family. Everyone stay safe and be sure to pray for the health of everyone within the parish family, our community, Diocese, and around the world!
