Out of an abundance of caution, I was tested for covid on Wednesday morning.  I was notified Friday evening (November 13) that my test was positive.  Because of the positive test, I will need to isolate.  Therefore, there will not be Masses in our parishes this weekend (November 14-15). Certainly not the news I wanted to receive or to have to share with you.  I appreciate your prayers for me and for all who are afflicted with the covid virus.  Know of my prayers for all of you.  Fr. Shannon. 

11-20-2020 UPDATE from Fr. Shannon: Thank you to all of you for your prayers for me during this time of illness.  While I am feeling a little better, I am still experiencing symptoms of covid.  Because of that, I am still required to be in isolation and therefore will not be able to celebrate public Masses again this weekend.  So, there will not be Masses in our parishes this weekend (November 21-22).  I am sorry that is the case, but hopefully next week will bring enough healing to return to the normal schedule.  Thank you and God Bless all of you!
