Hi Parishioners, we could really use a couple of extra volunteer hands for the church picnic June 25th this year. If you or someone you know is available it would be much appreciated. If you have teens in highschool or going through confirmation these volunteer hours can count towards that! Please contact Tim Dierker if you are able to volunteer and he will let you know where you’ll be. ... Thank you

St. Gerald Christmas Mass Schedule: Christmas Eve Vigil Mass: 5 pm Christmas Day Mass: 8 am Masks are required the entire time you are in church. We have strong doubts that we will be able to maintain social distancing with the number of people who usually come to Christmas Eve Mass. Christmas Day Mass is usually less attended and social distancing is much more likely.

This year is going to be a challenge with social distancing at the Christmas Eve mass since there is usually a big crowd. Father encourages attending the Christmas Day mass since there are usually fewer in attendance.

We will continue the parish council elections through this weekend 12/19 & 12/20. The nominees are Doug Feth, Jonathan Bohl, Ceilie Dierker, Carolyn Reel, and Mary Straatmanm. Vote for one man and one woman. If you are unable to vote in person at mass, you can email Father Jim @ [email protected], or you can call the office at 573-459-6441, or send a private Facebook message, or let Father know in a text or phone call.

Mass is now live - Dec 6, 2nd Sunday of Advent. You can also search on YouTube: Holy Family Port Hudson.

Parish Council Nominations are this weekend! Since this is a challenging year with low mass attendance due to Covid, we are providing several options to nominate this year.
