Dear Parish Family,
During the listening sessions prior to our merger, one strong priority seemed to be the maintenance of satellite offices at each church. We are going to do that with Beaver being the main office.
For the time being, however, the parish offices will run as they have been. The reason is that I am behind in getting all the wiring, equipment and furniture into its proper place, hopefully, by Lent.
Checks should be issued to "Our Lady of the Valley Parish". The banks will continue to accept the old names for a while but we all must get into the habit of the new name.
Speaking of Lent, it is not far away. Ash Wednesday is February 17. It is time to start reflecting and asking the Holy Spirit to show us how and where we need to focus this year. We shall inform you of the Lenten Schedule as soon as it is finished.
Fish Frys will be permitted this year but at this moment only as a take-out service.
Hymnals for 2021 are available for you to take home and use while live streaming Mass or to carry back and forth to church each Sunday. (This reminds me of the pre-Vatican II missals we used to carry.)
Please remember in your prayers the soul of Fr. Regis Alberth who died last week. There was a memorial mass for him on Saturday, January 9, at St. Frances Cabrini where he resided. Fr. Regis has done the 7:30 a.m. Monday Mass in Beaver for some time and is most well-known for his volunteer ministry to patients at Heritage Valley Beaver Hospital. Living with illness himself made him especially devoted and compassionate to the sick. He was 72 years old and had been a priest for 40 years. May he rest in the peace of Christ.
Fr. Bob
