MESSAGES from St. Elizabeth Parish
Diocesan Mask Mandate Lifted: Beginning this weekend, Bishop Richard Stika is making optional the wearing of a face mask at Mass and all parish functions. Priests, deacons and eucharistic ministers are required to wear face masks when distributing communion, however. Also starting this weekend, the obligation is restored to attend Mass on Sunday (or Saturday vigil) and holy days of obligation. In addition, social distancing is reduced from 6 feet to 3 feet.
Sunday Mass Time Changes — Beginning next weekend, St. Elizabeth Church will return to having only one Sunday Mass, and it will be at 9 a.m. This weekend is the last weekend for 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. Sunday Masses.

The Bishop’s Appeal (Anchored in Christ) is underway this weekend. If you are unable to attend Mass and have not received from the diocese a pledge envelope in the mail, you may still contribute to the annual appeal. Text the word BISHOP to (865) 345-5566. You will receive a text message back with a link. Please click the link, and you will be taken to a donation page that looks very similar to this year’s pledge cards. Thank you for your contribution to the Bishop’s Appeal.
