Paula White, our Parish Nurse, recently attended a conference call with the Kalamazoo County Health and Community Service Staff regarding COVID-19 Vaccine distribution. Please click on the title of this article to read her letter with a summary of the call and information on who is eligible for the vaccine now and how to sign up to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Though Ascension-Borgess encountered a delay with their shipment of the high dose flu vaccine for people 65 years and older, those vaccines have finally arrived, and they have now scheduled some additional flu clinics over the next couple of weeks. Please click on the article title to see the list of locations and dates/times for upcoming flu clinics. There will also be limited amounts of the following vaccines available: Quadrivalent Flu (6 months and older), Flu Mist Nasal Spray (2 through 17 years old), Pneumovax 23 (19 years and older), and Prevnar 13 (19 years and older). Interested persons can call 269-324-8466 to schedule an appointment or for more information. Walk-ins will also be accepted.

Due to COVID-19, most of our current parish programs are currently suspended through August 2020. Daily Mass (Monday through Friday), weekend Masses, and “drive-in” Confessions are held each week (please see the calendar below for details). We have not yet made any decisions about programming beyond August 2020, but hope to be able to do so soon. We know that Sacramental programs such as Children’s Faith Formation, Confirmation preparation, and RCIA will continue in some form, and Sacraments like First Communion and Confirmation (previously scheduled for Spring 2020) will be rescheduled soon. Please like/follow us on Facebook and continue to check our website for additional updates as we learn more. Thank you for your patience during these unusual times!
