We are working hard to make the bulletin more attractive and easier to read. We have begun to introduce color and format changes which require more setup and print time for the bulletin printer. Because of this, we need your bulletin announcements ten days in advance of the weekend you want them read. That means we need your announcement no later than Wednesday, October 5 to be printed in the October 15-16 bulletin and so on. As always, please submit your announcements to bulletin@stgertrude.org.

For the past several weeks, we have provided a weekly insert on Preparing for the New Translations. Prepared by Fr. Allen Moran, O.P., these inserts have gone in depth explaining the meaning behind the new translations of the ordinary part of the Mass. Their purpose is to assist all Catholics in obtaining a deeper understanding of the Mass texts, so that they might more fully attain the Second Vatican Council's goal of a fuller and more actual participation in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Below are the links for these various inserts. We will also continue to post on the website the text of these inserts in the weeks to come.
