From Fr. Walling: New Mass Schedule
You will find on the various parish pages of the bulletin the new schedule for Sunday and weekday Masses in our Family of Parishes, beginning January 1st, 2025. The new schedule is arranged to accommodate the fewer priests who are available to preside at Masses going forward and their ability to travel from church to church without rushing. I have prayed, consulted and wrestled with various options and possibilities, and this is what I have decided. I anticipate that it may cause inconvenience and even hardship for more than a few of you. I ask for your understanding and your cooperation. I hope and pray that the new schedule will serve well our identity and vision as Catholics who are centered on the Eucharist and who seek to radiate Christ and the joy of the Gospel.
New St. Aloysius Mass Schedule Effective January 1, 2025:
Sunday Masses - Saturday (Vigil) 4:00 p.m. Sunday 10:00 a.m. and each week on Sunday (January – June) 7:00 p.m.
Weekday Masses - Tuesday 7:00 p.m.

Mission Outreach Update
The Little Sisters of Mary Immaculate in Uganda sent us an updated pictorial report of their actions taken as a result of your donations. All medical supplies and equipment (suctions machine and sterilizer drums) have been purchased and are being utilized. 35 of the 150 Mama Kits we funded are being distributed each month. All 500 of the mosquito nets were distributed at the education center belonging to the sisters.
With the $10,000 we donated toward the kitchen shelter, the sisters realized they could now erect a permanent rather than a temporary facility. Fortunately, the army barracks stores subsidized cost of cement and building materials. Ground near the clinic was cleared, the foundation dug and the substructure installed. River sand had to be fetched from the Nile River 120 miles away. The slab was completed and the walls constructed. All construction is manual. Roofing, internal and external finishing and fittings are necessary to complete the project. Approximately another $22,000 is required to accomplish that.
The generosity of St. Aloysius is positively impacting both the health outcomes and the physical facilities needed to address the significant challenges the sisters strive to address.
Mass Intentions
Due to the number of Mass intentions received, we may not be able to accommodate the intention request as quickly as in the past. If you would like the Mass said in the near future, we are able to send the intentions to other churches outside of our area. Please let us know if this is an acceptable option.
Additional MINISTERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!

SCAM Alert
ATTENTION PLEASE: Please disregard any emails or texts from Fr. Walling that are not coming from rwalling@qphamilton.org. There are messages circulating about needing special prayers, money, etc. These are scams! Fr. Walling will NEVER email or text you asking you for money or gift cards. The latest scam has somehow managed to pop into existing email conversation threads. The parish office does not need to be notified if you have received them. However, if you have fallen victim to these scams please file a report at Report a Scam | Ohio.gov | Official Website of the State of Ohio and with your local police department. Unfortunately ministers, school principals, etc. are common targets for these scams because these are organizations that people like to make donations to.
HOME COOKING FOR OUR PRIESTS
Our Family of Parish Priests enjoy a home-cooked meal together each week at Queen of Peace. Meals are delivered to the parish office or outside the residence every Tuesday and Wednesday. Typically, meals should feed 4-5 adults. They enjoy all meats, starches, salads, breads and desserts. If you would be interested in being put on the rotation or have further questions, please call the Queen of Peace Parish Office 513-863-4344

Spiritual Communion
For those who are unable to receive Holy Communion, you can make this prayer of Spiritual Communion a source of grace in the midst of difficulty:
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Parish Mission Statement
We, the people of St. Aloysius Parish, are called together by God through our Roman Catholic faith to be an active, visible community where the faith flourishes and grows. As such, we acknowledge God's love, Jesus Christ's redemption, the power of the Holy Spirit, and our individual and collective membership in the body of Christ. It is the privilege, responsibility, and challenge of that membership to manifest God's unconditional love for all His creation. This effort to be Christ-like will be especially evident in our parish worship, evangelization, and service.
