***Dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays & Holy Days of obligation for the people in the Diocese of Gaylord--HAS BEEN LIFTED. EFFECTIVE MAY 29-30, 2021. The time has come for all who are able, to return to in-person celebration of Mass on Sundays & Holy Days of Obligation (Including the Saturday Vigil). With this in mind, the Bishop is lifting the dispensation from that obligation, effective the weekend of May 29-30, 2021. There are of course, serious reasons why some may not be able to return to in-person celebrations, and they would therefore be dispensed from attending in accord with our traditional teachings (i.e. illness, family situations, impossibility, etc.).

***UPDATES TO COVID-19 PROTOCOLS***
The following changes are now in effect.  Masks and social distancing are no longer required during liturgical celebrations. It is expected that those who are not vaccinated follow CDC guidance and wear a mask for the safety of fellow parishioners. We will continue to thoroughly review these updated guidelines and keep you informed.

We NEED YOU!! St Hubert is in need of Greeters! It is hard to accommodate 2 masses each weekend with the few Greeters we have! Please consider joining our team. For more information or to become a Greeter, please call Diane Quaal at 989-370-8622. Thank you for any help you can give us.

Pope Francis proclaims 2021 Year of St Joseph: Pope Francis announced a Year of St Joseph in honor of the 150th anniversary of the saint's proclamation as patron of the Universal Church. The year begins December 8, 2020 and concludes December 8, 2021, according to a decree authorized by the Pope. The decree said that Francis had established a Year of St Joseph so that "every member of the faithful, following his example, may strengthen their life of faith daily in the complete fulfillment of God's will." It added that the pope had granted special indulgences to mark the year. See clips of the decree in the 'From Fr. Ty' section. ***Also, for prayers of intercession to St. Joseph --see below in area just below watch mass on tv***.

***Prayers to St. Joseph for the Month of June 2021***;

Prayer of St Pope Pius X to St Joseph the Worker (Feast Day May 1st):
O glorious St. Joseph, model of all who labor, obtain for me the grace to work in the spirit of penance in expiation for my numberless sins; preferring devotion to duty to my inclinations; to work with joy & gratitude, regarding it as an honor to develop and employ by work the gifts which I have received from God; to work with order, peace, patience, and moderation, without ever recoiling before weariness and difficulties; to work, especially, with a pure intention and detached from myself, ever having death before my eyes and the account which I must give for time lost, for talents unused, for good omitted, and for vain satisfaction in success, so fatal to the work of God. Amen.

Prayer of St Peter Julian Eymard:
O glorious St. Joseph, you who did faithfully obey the law of God, your heart was pierced at the sight of the Precious Blood that was shed by the infant Savior during his circumcision, but the name of Jesus gave you new life & filled you with quiet joy.
By this sorrow and this joy, obtain for us the grace to be freed from all sin during life, and to die rejoicing, with the holy name of Jesus in our hearts and on our lips. Amen.

Prayer to St. Joseph:
St. Joseph, father & guardian of virgins, into whose faithful keeping were entrusted Innocency itself, Christ Jesus, and Mary, the Virgin of virgins, I pray and beseech you through Jesus & Mary, those pledges so dear to you, to keep me from all uncleanness, and to grant that my mind may be untainted, my heart pure & my body chaste; help me always to serve Jesus & Mary in perfect chastity. Amen.

Fundraising while you Shop! ---Shop with Scrip. Support our local Catholic School--Our Lady of the Lake Regional --Prudenville MI.
Stop Selling & start earning! Scrip fundraising is a no-selling program that allows families to raise money for their non-profit organization (NPO). Scrip is just another way to pay for everyday purchases using gift cards in place of cash, checks & credit cards.
You purchase gift cards from your organization at face value, and your coordinator orders those cards from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a reduced price. The difference is an instant rebate for your organization. It's really that simple! When you use scrip gift cards at your favorite retailers, you're fundraising while you shop. Great Lakes Scrip Center offers more than 700 of the country's biggest retailers, including grocery, department stores, gas stations, restaurants, hotels, home improvement, and more. Just by using scrip to pay for your normal weekly purchases, you can easily raise $500 or more per year. It's time to put your shopping dollars to work!

We have SCRIP cards for lots of area retailers... Walmart, Family Fare, Peebles, Shell, BP, Little Caesars Pizza and many more! We will be selling them on our donut days. The first Sunday of the month at St Hubert and the last Sunday of the month at St James. We will have a good selection to purchase on the spot--if we do not have the one you want, you pay when you order the card, then you will get it the following Sunday at mass.   If you have any questions, please contact Our Lady of the Lake Regional Catholic School Office; 989-366-5592.
