24 Hours for the Lord: Eucharistic Adoration

Please consider signing up for an hour of Eucharistic Adoration as part of our celebration of 24 Hours for the Lord on March 21-22, 2025. There are still many available time slots, and all are encouraged to take part in this time of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Sign-ups are available online through the parish website or in the main vestibule of the church.

Summer Ministries Schedule

The summer ministry schedule (May–August 2025) will be prepared in the coming weeks. Current Eucharistic Ministers and Lectors registered on Ministry Scheduler Pro will receive an email requesting their availability for these months. Additional volunteers are always welcome for these ministries. Anyone interested in serving as a Lector or Eucharistic Minister should contact the parish office as soon as possible so that training sessions can be scheduled.

Nursing Home Visitation: More Ministers Needed

There is also a need for additional Eucharistic Ministers to visit local nursing homes. This is a meaningful way to bring the presence of Christ to those who are unable to attend Mass. Participation in this ministry does not require serving as a Eucharistic Minister at Mass, and training will be provided at a later date. Those interested should contact the parish office.

Vigil Candles

Beginning immediately, the price of devotional candles in the church will be adjusted due to rising costs. The votive candles in front of the Mary and St. Joseph altars will increase from $3 to $5 per candle, and the tea light candles by the Sacred Heart statue will increase from $0.25 to $0.50. This adjustment is necessary to continue providing these sacramentals while covering the increased cost of supplies. Thank you for your understanding and continued devotion to this meaningful tradition of prayer and remembrance.

Rosary

Just a quick note that on Wednesdays after Daily Mass, the Rosary will be said in Church. We encourage everyone to come and join us in this special prayer. The Rosary will continue to be prayed at 4:30pm on Saturday, before our 5pm vigil mass. Volunteers are needed as the Saturday Rosary Leader. If you wish to lead the rosary, please contact the parish office at your earliest convenience.

Vacation Bible School 2025

Looking ahead, Vacation Bible School is scheduled for July 14–18, 2025. Registration will open on March 1, 2025. This year’s theme is “Egypt: Joseph’s Journey from Prison to Palace”. More details will be shared in the coming weeks.

Here are a few thoughts for the week ahead:

No amount of guilt can change yesterday and no amount of anxiety can change the future. Let your faith empower you to be the kind of Christian that makes the sun shine brighter for all those you encounter. If you need a confidence booster, then remind yourself of all the difficult things you’ve endured and overcome.

Pax et Bonum, Fr. Andy


The Power and Tradition of Mass Intentions

The Mass is considered the greatest prayer of intercession in the Church. This is because it is the perfect offering of Christ to the Father, making present the Paschal Mystery of His death and resurrection. Traditionally, a Priest may be requested to offer a Mass for a specific intention, even if the requester cannot be physically present.

Offering Masses for the Deceased:

Having a Mass offered for a deceased person is an ancient and commendable practice. A Mass is offered to pray for the departed, that they may find peace in heaven. Since each Mass holds infinite value, requesting one or several Masses is of tremendous benefit to the person prayed for, as well as their family, who can take comfort in knowing that their intention is united with the prayers of the Church.

The Mass: Center of Christian Life:

Every Mass is a precious gift from God. It is the center of the Church’s life, known as “the source and summit of the Christian life,” because in the celebration of the Mass, we are brought back to Jesus’ Last Supper, the first Mass. We consciously recall the love of God poured out for us through the life, death, and resurrection of His only Son, Jesus Christ. At each Mass, all the intentions of God’s people, both living and deceased, are included. As Pope Paul VI noted in his motu proprio “Firma in Traditione,” the faithful, moved by an ecclesial and religious sense, join their own sacrifices to the Eucharistic sacrifice, participating more intensely and supporting the Church’s needs, especially its ministers.

Requesting a Mass Intention:

Anyone may request a Mass Intention for a living person, a deceased person, members of a family, or a special intention appropriate to the celebration of the Eucharist, such as World Peace, Vocations, or Respect for Life. The Church allows only one intention per Mass.

Offering a Mass Stipend:

The normal stipend offering for a Mass is $10. However, a Mass Offering can be more or less than the suggested amount, depending on the financial position of the person requesting the Mass. Envelopes for Mass intention requests are available at the entrances of the church. These envelopes can be placed in the collection basket or returned to the parish office. The requester may also ask for a card to be sent to notify someone that a Mass Intention has been requested (one card per intention). Please note that the name of the person(s) requesting the Mass is not announced.

The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord

This Sunday, February 2, 2025, we celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, also known as Candlemas. This feast commemorates the moment when Mary and Joseph presented Jesus in the temple, fulfilling the law of Moses. According to Jewish custom, every firstborn male was to be consecrated to the Lord, and the offering of a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons was made in accordance with the law.

Simeon, inspired by the Holy Spirit, recognized Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah and proclaimed Him as the “light for revelation to the Gentiles and glory for your people Israel.” Likewise, the prophetess Anna, who had devoted her life to prayer and fasting in the temple, spoke of the child to all who awaited the redemption of Jerusalem. This profound moment reminds us that Christ is the fulfillment of God’s promises and the true light that dispels the darkness of sin and death.

In recognition of Christ as the light of the nations, we bless candles and hold them during the first part of Mass, symbolizing Christ as the true light who has come into the world. The lighted candles also serve as a reminder of our call to carry the light of Christ into our daily lives, shining His love to all those we encounter.

Candlemas Candles

Blessed candles are available for purchase by the Sacred Heart statue for $5 per box of two candles. These candles serve as a beautiful reminder of Christ’s presence in our lives and homes.

Returning Old Palms

A friendly reminder that old palms can be returned to the baskets placed at the entrances of the church. The deadline for returning your palms is next Sunday, February 9. These palms will be burned and used for the ashes distributed on Ash Wednesday.

Eucharistic Adoration Sign-Ups

We invite you to sign up for Eucharistic Adoration, which will take place for 24 hours. We need at least two people per hour to ensure that our Lord is never left alone in the Blessed Sacrament. Sign-up sheets are available in the main vestibule of the church. Thank you to those who have already committed to spending time with our Lord in Adoration.

Here are a few thoughts for the week ahead:

Lessons in life will repeat until they are learned. You are the artist of your own life: make it beautiful. Prepare your child for the road ahead, not the road ahead for your child. Stress comes from trying to do it all on your own; peace comes from putting it all in God’s hands.

Proclaim a Year of Jubilee

In today’s Gospel, we hear Jesus boldly proclaim that He is the fulfillment of God’s promises, declaring: “to bring glad tidings to the poor, to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.” This passage is rooted in the ancient tradition of the Jubilee Year, a time of renewal, restoration, and freedom outlined in the Old Testament. A Jubilee Year was a time when debts were forgiven, slaves were freed, and land was restored to its rightful owners. In the Church, the Jubilee Year is an opportunity to seek deeper conversion, reconciliation, and renewal of our faith. How fitting it is that we hear this message during our Jubilee Year of Hope! As we continue this year of grace, let us reflect on how we can experience the freedom and restoration that Christ offers us.

Eucharistic Adoration – 24 Hours for the Lord

More information is available in this weekend’s bulletin about Adoration, the Holy Eucharist, and our upcoming celebration of 24 Hours for the Lord. Sign-ups for Adoration are available both in the main vestibule of the church and online at ihmercer.org/24-hours. We encourage everyone to take part in this beautiful opportunity to spend time with Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

Return Your Old Palms

As we prepare for Lent, please remember to bring your old palms back to church so they can be burned for Ash Wednesday. The deadline to return them is Sunday, February 9. A collection basket will be available in the vestibule for your convenience.

The Presentation of the Lord – Candlemas

Next Sunday, our church will celebrate The Presentation of the Lord, also known as Candlemas. At the beginning of each Mass, we will bless the candles that will be used in our church throughout the coming year. Everyone will have the opportunity to hold a candle at the beginning of Mass, with candles available at the doors of the church. It is a long-standing custom to bring special candles from home for this blessing, and we encourage you to do so. Additionally, special Candlemas Candles are available for purchase by the Sacred Heart statue, with a suggested donation of $5 per box of 2 candles.

Here are a few thoughts for the week ahead:

As difficult as things may be, remember that what you’re going through right now won’t last forever; trust that better days are ahead; storms don’t last forever.

Good Friday of the Passion of the Lord

April 18 @ 12:15 pm 1:15 pm

Join us for the solemn celebration of the Lord’s Passion as we reflect on Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation. This powerful liturgy includes the recitation of the Passion narrative from the Gospel of John, followed by the Veneration of the Cross, where we are invited to honor the instrument of our redemption. The service concludes with Holy Communion, as we contemplate the immense love and sacrifice of our Savior. All are encouraged to enter into this sacred time of prayer and reflection.

Spring 2025 Bible Study: Gospel of Luke

February 20 @ 6:00 pm 8:00 pm

The Gospel of Luke takes you on a journey that begins with the foretelling of John the Baptist’s birth and culminates in Jesus’ ascension into heaven. On the road to Emmaus, a story unique to the Gospel of Luke, Jesus gave us the greatest Bible study of all time, laying out his fulfillment of the Old Testament.

In Luke: The Story of Salvation Fulfilled, you will witness key moments in salvation history including the Annunciation, the Nativity, his public ministry, and Jesus’ suffering, death, and glorious Resurrection. There are parables found only in Luke, including the Prodigal Son, the Good Samaritan, and the rich man and Lazarus which will show you the mercy and compassion that Jesus has for each one of his children.

In this 8-part study, Jeff Cavins and Dr. Jeffrey Morrow will show you the beautiful Biblical roots for Mary, the Rosary, and the Mass that are found in Luke, strengthening your prayer life like never before.

Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish will begin our study of Luke on Thursday, February at 6pm. Participants will meet every week to view an engaging video presentation followed by a time of lively group discussion and fellowship.

$30 for study materials

24 Hours for the Lord

Join us at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish in Mercer for 24 Hours for the Lord, a special time of Eucharistic Adoration beginning after the 8:00 AM Mass on Friday, March 21, and concluding with the 8:00 AM Mass on Saturday, March 22. This sacred time offers an opportunity to come before the Blessed Sacrament in prayer and reflection. A special Praise and Worship Adoration will take place at 6:00 PM on Friday, providing a beautiful way to deepen your encounter with Christ. To ensure that our Lord is never left alone, we invite you to sign up for an hour of prayer at ihmercer.org/24-hours

“Do whatever He tells you.”

These words from Mary in this weekend’s Gospel are not just for the servants at the wedding in Cana—they are for all of us. Mary’s instruction is a timeless call to trust in Jesus and to follow Him completely. What is He asking you to do in your life today? What step of faith might He be inviting you to take? Trust that His plans will always lead to something far greater than we can imagine.

Mass Intentions Needed

Our Mass intention calendar has many openings, particularly for daily Masses. Having a Mass offered for the repose of a loved one’s soul or for someone’s special intentions is a profound act of charity. There is no greater gift we can give than the offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. If you would like to schedule a Mass intention, please contact the parish office.

Return Old Palms

Starting this weekend, receptacles will be placed at the entrances of the church to collect old palms. These palms will be burned to make the ashes we will use on Ash Wednesday. Please return your old palms by Sunday, February 9, 2025.

24 Hours for the Lord

As we look ahead to Lent, our parish will host 24 Hours for the Lord, a special opportunity for Eucharistic Adoration, beginning Friday, March 21, 2025, after the 8:00 AM Mass and continuing until Saturday, March 22, 2025, concluding with a special 8:00 AM Mass.

We need at least two adorers for each hour to ensure the Blessed Sacrament is never left alone. Sign-ups will begin next weekend, January 25-26. Please be generous with your time—if you spend even one hour with Him, I am confident He will bless you abundantly in return.

Praise and Worship Adoration

Also on Friday, March 21, at 7:00 PM, we will host a special Praise and Worship Eucharistic Adoration. This experience will include music, moments of vocal praise, and quiet prayer. It is a powerful way to connect with God and deepen your relationship with Him.

Over the next few weeks, our bulletin will include reflections and materials about Eucharistic Adoration and its importance in our spiritual lives. I encourage you to take time to read and pray with these resources.

Here are a few thoughts for the week ahead:

Don’t close the book when negative things happen in your life; just turn the page and begin a new chapter. Remember, even your worst day has only 24 hours. When you choose to forgive, you heal and when you let go, you grow.

Palm Sunday is also known as Passion Sunday, because we hear an account of the passion of Jesus Christ during the liturgy. Most churches also share this reading in common. Many Catholic parishes use multiple lectors to proclaim the Gospel, while it is not uncommon for a similar reading or even a performance in many mainstream Protestant churches.

The commonality found in the worship on this particular Sunday seems to highlight the fundamental truth in the observance: Jesus Christ died for everyone. He did not die on a cross for just Catholics, or just Orthodox, or just Protestants. Whether one acknowledges it or not, he was crucified for all those who are born of man. Today, we rejoice not just for what he has done for us but also for what he has done for all of creation.

On Holy Saturday, church regulation does not permit any Masses to be celebrated before sunset. This is the case so that the church is dark for the lighting of the Easter Fire and Paschal Candle. Consequently, we cannot have the 5:00 pm mass that day. The Easter Vigil will begin at 8:30 pm. This is the earliest time permitted by the diocese.

On Holy Thursday, morning Masses are not permitted. Our Mass will be at 7:00 pm. It will be followed by Adoration until 11:30 pm. The Passion of Our Lord and Holy Communion service will be at 12:15 pm on Good Friday.

On Holy Saturday, we will be decorating the church at 9:00 am. A word of gratitude and appreciation goes out to all those who donated for the Easter Lilies. Those names will be in next weekend’s bulletin. The blessing of Easter foods will take place on Holy Saturday at 12:00 pm in church.

In May, our Sunday Mass schedule is set to return to 8 am and 10:30 am. Before we make that decision, we want to make sure that is the best time for summer. In the bulletin for the next few weeks, a form will be available to select your favored option for the Summer Sunday Schedule. We ask that you only return one form per family. You can place the form in the collection basket or mail it to the parish office.

For the months of May—August, our Mass schedule is set to change from 11 am to 10:30 am. We are asking all parishioners to circle their preferred option below and return to the parish office via the collection or mailing in your response.

Option 1: 8:00 am & 11:00 am

Option 2: 8:00 am & 10:30 am

Option 3: 8:00 am & 10:00 am

Here’s a thought for your week: Get into the habit of asking yourself, “does this support the kind of life God wants me to create?”

The IHM 300 Club will be a special 6 month raffle, and more information about this can be found in today’s bulletin, as well as on our website. Tickets will begin being sold this weekend, April 1 & 2 after all the masses. Tickets can also always be purchased through the parish office after next weekend.

The last two weeks in the season of Lent are called Passiontide which begins on the Fifth Sunday of Lent. This is when the Church shifts her focus from Christ in the desert (the Gospel for the First Sunday of Lent) to Christ during His Passion.

During this period of Passiontide, the crucifix and other statues and images around the church have been veiled with a purple cloth.

In the Roman Missal we find the instruction, “In the Dioceses of the United States, the practice of covering crosses and images throughout the church from [the fifth] Sunday [of Lent] may be observed. Crosses remain covered until the end of the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion on Good Friday, but images remain covered until the beginning of the Easter Vigil.”

Why do we veil images? The practice of veiling images alerts us that something is different, it can be startling at first, but the last two weeks of Lent are a time of immediate preparation for the celebration of the Sacred Triduum. The veils are hard to miss and they serve as a reminder to get ready!

The veiled images build within us a longing for Easter Sunday. The veils seem out of place, and even counterintuitive. It can seem strange that the crucifix is covered up during Passiontide. Through this absence of images, our senses are heightened and we become more aware of what is missing. Similarly, the suppression of the Alleluia during Lent effectively demonstrates that we are in exile from our true Home, where the angels sing Alleluia without ceasing.

When images are unveiled before the Easter Vigil, we are reminded that we, in a sense, live in a veiled world. It is through our own death that we are able to see our true home, and the veil is lifted. Christ lifts the veil through His Resurrection.


In last weekend’s bulletin, as well as this weekend’s bulletin, there is a full page advertisement about IHM’s newest fundraiser. The IHM 300 Club will be a special 6 month raffle, and more information about this can be found in today’s bulletin, as well as on our website. Tickets will begin being sold next weekend, April 1 & 2 after all the masses. Tickets can also always be purchased through the parish office after next weekend.


We have the totals from our Saint Patrick Day Bingo and Bake Sale! Big drum roll please! The total is $2,744. Last year, we made just $466 on bingo alone. This year, the Bingo brought in $2020 alone. A massive thank you to the Knights of Columbus for sponsoring the Bingo, to the anonymous donor for the kitchen costs, and for all the amazing baked goods! Another wonderful event for our parish family!

Here’s a thought for your week: We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that God has waiting for us.

Today we celebrate Laetare Sunday. This Sunday is noted as different in our liturgical celebration of lent in a few ways. First, and most obvious, is the color of vestments that the clergy wear. While some will continue wearing violet, the recommended color is rose. This lighter color reminds us of the joy that is coming at Easter. Second, in the liturgical norms of the day, the entrance antiphon starts with the word “Laetare!” which is Latin for “Rejoice!” We are now at the midpoint of our Lenten journey, and our focus today is a reminder to “run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” (Heb 12:1b) With Easter just around the corner, let us now spend these last days of Lent focused on the sacrifice of the Lord, especially as we journey toward Holy Thursday and Good Friday where we journey with the Lord toward His death and receive Him in the Eucharist.

Our Deanery Penance Services are upon us. Today, Sunday March 19, Our Lady of Fatima’s Penance Service is at 1:00pm. Saint Bartholomew is scheduled for tomorrow, Monday March 20 at 6:30pm. Good Shepherd is on Wednesday March 22 at 6:30pm. Saint Joseph is on Thursday, March 23 at 6:30pm. Our Parish service is next Sunday, March 26 at 2:00pm, and the final service will be at Beloved Disciple on Sunday, March 26 at 5:00pm. As a reminder, confessions are available every Friday of Lent from 6-7pm as well as every Saturday from 4-5pm. If these times do not work for your schedule, call me at the office and we can schedule a time that works for our schedules.

Mark your calendars! On Holy Saturday, April 8, at 9am we will decorate Church for Easter! Many hands make light work, so any help that you might be able to give would be greatly appreciated!

Here’s a few thoughts for your week: Don’t wait for the right time; make the time right now. Life is short; time is fast: since there is no rewind or instant replay, enjoy each moment as it comes.
