From The Pastors Desk -
Sunday Obligation: Beginning next week-
end, Bishop Hying decided to discontinue
the general dispensation from the Sunday
obligation. As such, all Catholics who can
safely do so are invited back to Sunday
Mass. Importantly, the elderly, the immunodeficient,
and those who are still at increased risk may refrain
from Sunday Mass attendance without committing sin.
First Communion: Next Sunday, a good number of
children will be receiving the Blessed Sacrament for
the first time. As you know, this day was originally
scheduled for the spring during the Easter Season, but
it had to be postponed because of COVID. We thank
them for their patience and rejoice that their big day is
finally here! Please join me in praying for them as they
partake in this wonderful gift for the first time.
If possible, I urge parishioners to attend one of the
Saturday Vigil Masses to leave room for the First
Communicants and their families on Sunday.
Swiss Steak & Ham Dinner: Next Sunday we will
also be serving our drive-thru carry-out dinner from
11:30 until 3:30. Please stop by and support the
parish. So much effort and planning go into the dinner,
so I hope it will be a great success.
Additional Masses: Because the general dispensa-
tion is ending and because of the other events next
weekend, I will be adding an additional weekend Mass.
For the foreseeable future, I am adding a 6:30 PM Vigil
Mass at St. Michael in Dane to the weekend schedule.
This will be a simpler Mass (no music), but we will still
need volunteers to step up to make it work. Namely,
we will need a lector and two ushers to help out.
Please stop in the sacristy before Mass and talk to Fr.
Joe if you’re willing and able!
BT School Update: As you might have seen in the
news, our lawsuit against Dane County and Emergency
Order #9 made some positive progress -- last week the
Wisconsin Supreme Court granted a temporary injunc-
tion. Nevertheless, after consulting with Michael Lan-
caster (the Diocesan Superintendent of Schools), Dcn.
Michael and I have decided to keep school in Lodi
through the end of the month. At that point, we will
reevaluate the situation. If you have any questions,
please don’t hesitate talking to Dcn. Michael or myself.
We’ll do our best to keep you updated.
Eucharistic Adoration and Confessions: With the
school temporarily relocated to Lodi, naturally most of
our weekly liturgies are also taking place in Lodi. That
being said, I want to provide an opportunity during the
week to pray at St. Michael. Starting on September
24
th
, we will have Eucharistic Adoration every Thursday
from 5:00 to 6:00 PM. Confessions will also be avail-
able during that time from 5:00 until 5:45 PM.
Pax,
Fr. Joe

40 Days for Life Campaign
Join Blessed Trinity Parish in praying at Planned
Parenthood in Madison for one hour this fall during the
40 Days for Life campaign. Statistics show that more
women choose life for their babies when people are on
the sidewalk praying and peacefully witnessing for life.
Blessed Trinity Parish needs your help to fill the hours
we have committed to over the 6 week campaign from
September 23 - November 1. Our Blessed Trinity time
slot is on Sundays from 2 pm - 3 pm. Are you willing to
help fill just one of these hours? Sign up sheets are at
Saint Patrick or Saint Michael entryways or contact our
Parish Liaison, Judene Skrum at (608) 849-5632.
A Note From Father Paul Fagan -
Dear Friends of many many years,
In Tanzania we often hear the Swahili word
“changamoto” used to describe a difficult situation.
Perhaps it is best translated as “challenge”. I have been
home here in Prairie du Chien for about 6 weeks. The
first 2 weeks were self quarantine. Since then I have
been dealing with the “changamoto” of how to
communicate with all of my friends in the 14 parishes
that have supported my work in Tanzania, some of them
since I bought a John Deere tractor back in 1974. When I
left Tanzania my hope and prayer was that Covid 19
would be coming under control in the USA and that I
would be able to reschedule my regular visits to the
various parishes at a later date. I found the situation
different than that of Nkololo, a town of 14,000 people,
where there were no known cases of Covid 19. I left with
obvious concerns about my safety, but due to issues with
my eyes, dental concerns, my annual check-up and my
annual supply of 2 heart medicines I made the long
safari. My fellow pastors in several parishes advised me
to find an alternate way of communicating my annual
update to all of you. It was suggested that the simplest
way was to write several installments for the the parish
bulletins. Consequently you will be hearing from me via
your parish bulletin when there is space for my updates.
My concern is that “out of sight, out of mind” may hold
true. I pray that it will not be so as I am still in the front
line, especially in our efforts to complete our
Songambele Health Center. You may continue your help
by writing a check to Roads to Life Tanzania and sending
it to PO Box 157, Prairie du Chien, WI 53821.
Prayers,
Father Paul
