Date Nights for Catholic Couples
St. Elizabeth Parish presents “Date Nights for Catholic Couples, an Enrichment series for married and engaged couples. When was the last time you spent quality time with just the two of you - not talking about work, or family or finances, etc., but about the two of you and your relationship! “Date Nights” are down-to-earth structured evenings that include a video highlighting an aspect of married life, followed by husband & wife private discussion time. There are no group discussions. All sharing is strictly between husband and wife. Marriage and family life can be hectic and busy, and we don’t always make time just for ourselves and our relationship! “Date Nights” is an opportunity to make that time . Don’t pass it up. Join us on Friday evenings, 6:30-8:00PM at the SJB Pastoral Center. Upcoming program dates are: Dec. 10, Jan. 14, Feb. 11, and Mar. 25. Note that set-up will provide for social distancing. For more information contact Dick & DuAnne Pasquini at 610-0509.

COVID 19 Guidelines: Diocese of Springfield
In light of the information provided by the CDC, and in order to maximize protection of vulnerable individuals from the delta variant, the Department of Public Health now advises that a fully vaccinated person should wear a mask or face covering when indoors (and not in your own home), if you have a weakened immune system, or if you are at increased risk for severe disease because of your age or an underlying medical condition, or if someone in your household has a weakened immune system, is at increased risk for severe disease, or is unvaccinated.
Individuals who are not fully vaccinated should continue to wear a face covering or mask to help prevent you from spreading COVID-19 to other people. People who show no symptoms of illness may still be able to spread COVID-19.

A Class on Prayer by Fr. Francis Mary
Fr. Francis Mary, the Novice Master of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, gives a class on prayer to the novices each year. This short course on prayer utilizes "Conversations with Christ: The Teaching of St. Teresa of Avila About Personal Prayer" by Fr. Peter Rohrbach. To encourage others in their own spiritual lives, Fr. Francis Mary has graciously recorded his live sessions with the novices to make this class more widely available.
