You read that right. Action packed!
First, there's First Friday (August 2), the Sacred Heart Community Mass at 6 PM.
Then on Saturday, the Italian Heritage Mass (August 3) at 5 PM followed by the dinner dance at the Quonset O Club. In addition to honoring our patrons of Fornelli (SS. Pietro Martire e Domenico Abate), we will also be honoring our late pastor and fearless leader, Father Richard A. Bucci! There will be singing in English, Latin and (of course) Italian at this Mass! And there couldn't be a more fitting priest to celebrate this annual Mass in place of Father Bucci than his best friend, Msgr. Carlo Montecalvo.
Finally on Sunday, our regularly scheduled Masses at 7:30, 9:00 and 11:15 AM.
Music for all the Masses will be in the Mass Guide (on Saturday and Sunday, these come with the bulletin; please grab one on the way in).
So, without further ado...
