Dear Ladies of TASTE,

Please remember that our Healing Mass will take the place of all our TASTE activities this week.  It will begin at 10:15 am on Thursday October 31st at St. Mary of the Mills Church.  We look forward to seeing you there.  Please note that this event is open to women, men, and children.   This being the case, we encourage you to invite family, friends, and neighbors to this very special time of physical, emotional, or spiritual healing.  Given that the last Healing Mass TASTE sponsored was in 2015, this is a unique opportunity.  We encourage you and others to come and rejoice in this outpouring of God’s love.

We have 5 priests who have agreed to con-celebrate the Mass, and hear confessions! There will be at least one priest hearing confessions before Mass (9:45- 10:05) and at least one priest available for confession after Mass.  Since there will be so many of us attending, it is also wise to consider receiving the sacrament earlier in the week.  Eighteen first class relics will be available for veneration and after Mass a priest or deacon will be moving through the church to pray over us with a relic.  To view the biographies of the saint's relics we have, visit the TASTE website.
