On this very busy weekend, our country celebrates its birthday with the Fourth of July. It is customary for many tourists and guests to come and visit our mountain communities, particularly Bass Lake. We wish to extend a warm welcome to all who are visiting us, and pray that all will have a safe and sane weekend with all the festivities.
The Parish Office is closed on Monday, July 4th. There will be no daily Mass Monday morning.
I want to thank all who contributed to the work of the Divine Word Missionaries when Father Donald O'Connor, SVD, was with us last weekend. Your contribution to the work of foreign missions is a testimony to our faith in Christ, and to those who work to make our faith known throughout the different parts of the world.
We are happy to announce that Monsignor Herman Bezunartea, first pastor of Our Lady of the Sierra Parish in Oakhurst is returning to spend a month in Bass Lake. He will help with Masses, visit friends, enjoy golfing and fishing, and just relax by the lake. We are really looking forward to Msgr. Herman's time with us. He will be here July 21st to August 15th. This will also be an opportunity to see one of Msgr. Herman's dream fulfilled as he gazes on the new cross that graces the church building at Our Lady of the Sierra. He always felt the church was not complete until the cross was placed over the entry way. We would like to have a celebration on Sunday, July 31st, following the 11:30 Mass to celebrate his presence and to thank him for his contribution to the beginning of this parish, and to honor him for what he did in building the beautiful church we have in Oakhurst. Fr. Mike
