From Father Sam's Desk
Public Masses will continue at the regularly scheduled times; 4:30 PM on Saturday in Attica, 8:30 AM Sunday in Attica and 11 AM Sunday in Covington. Public daily Masses will resume Monday, June 15th for both parishes following the normal daily Mass schedule. The dispensation from the Sunday obligation has been extended to August 15.
- If you do not feel comfortable coming to Mass during this period, you are not obligated to do so. If you are not feeling well, we ask that you not come to Mass. Masks will be required for those who do not have them. If you do not have a mask, we will provide you with one at the front door of the church.
- Social distancing will be practiced. Seating will be on a first come first served basis. You may sit with your family. However, we ask that only one family sit in each pew. Communion will be distributed after Mass in the hand only. The cup will not be offered. We ask that you leave the church immediately after receiving Communion.
Confessions will continue at 3:30 PM Saturday in Attica and 10:30 AM in Covington. Confessions will be behind the screen only.
Offerings and Collections Your generosity has been tremendous in the past and will continue to be appreciated. You may mail your Sunday offerings and special collections to either of the parishes at their normal mailing addresses. You may also sign up for online giving through the links on our website. Donations are also accepted in the baskets at the rear of each church. -

Welcome to St. Francis Xavier and St. Joseph Catholic Churches
On behalf of St. Francis Xavier and St. Joseph parishes, I would like to welcome you to our website!
St. Francis Xavier and St. Joseph have been the Catholic presence in Fountain County since the 1860’s. If you are new to Fountain County, we welcome you and invite you to visit one of the two parishes. You may find our Sunday Mass schedules on this website.
If you are already Catholic and wish to become a member of either parish, you will find the registration form for both parishes here. If you have been away from the Church, know that we miss you and we invite you to join us again. You will always be welcome.
If you are not Catholic and are curious about the Catholic faith, you may contact me about Inquiry classes held here at the church. You are not under any obligation to embrace the faith if you participate in these classes.
No matter where you are in your faith journey, please be assured that you are in my prayers.In Christ,
Fr. Samuel Futral
