The Chosen 

Season Two of The Chosen will be released at Easter and part of it will include our own Jeff Ryan.

Jeff was among about the crowd of 2,000 who were on hand as extras for the filming of four crowd scenes depicting followers at the Sermon on the Mount. Two of the scenes will be part of the upcoming Season Two and the other scenes will be included in Season Three.

As for the "glamorous" life of being part of the shooting, filming took place (with protocols in place) in Texas as Mother Nature was making her prescence known as well. The group came to be known as the Frozen Chosen, as they were barefoot or in sandals despite 30 degree temparatures during the filming.


Jeff was able to meet the cast and crew and the group was treated to a concert by Phil Wickham, Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes.

It was a fantastic faith-filled experience shared with those who have been touched by this impactful series from around the country and across the world.

Jeff thanks everyone for the prayers and well wishes for his journey and thankful for the opportunity to have represented our parish community on this adventure

 

We can recognize the darkness around us:
it can be in the form of mental illness, racism, addiction,
isolation and anxiety for example.
How can WE be lamplighters in that darkness?

We began welcoming parishioners back to Mass in July and are now following our regular schedule.

Below are the guidelines from the Archdiocese regarding public masses:

• Archbishop Blair has again extended the dispensation from the Sunday obligation, with the dispensation now extending until Tuesday, May 23 (Pentecost).
  • No Catholic is obligated to attend Sunday Mass at this time.
• Those who are ill, have a temperature, have symptoms of Covid-19, or are in high risk categories should not attend Mass.
• Those attending Mass must wear face masks, apart from children under the age of two.
• The church is cleaned daily.
• Hand sanitizer is available at the entrances.
• The maximum number of people allowed to attend Mass at St. Mary's is 100.
• Pews in the church have been roped off to ensure social distancing of at least six feet between those attending who are not members of the same family.
• Hymnals and Missalettes have been removed from the pews.
• Congregational singing remains suspended
• Collection boxes have been placed at the doors of the church, as there will not be an offertory collection (please consider e-Giving)
• Those receiving Holy Communion will approach in single file, keeping a space of six feet apart, as marked on the floor, and receive communion in their hands. Before consuming the Eucharist, step to the side (X is marked on the floor) then remove their mask and consume.
• Those administering Holy Communion must wear face masks and will sanitize their hands before and after distributing communion
