New Pulpit Announcements Policy
Northwest Parishes of Racine
November 2025
- Sunday Mass Announcements are due at 10AM on Tuesday. This may change to an earlier date because of holidays (e.g. New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas). Call the parish office if you are unsure.
- Announcements can only be events that are happening that day or within that week and are mission-related. No phone numbers. Please keep them brief! Bulletin articles will not be read as pulpit announcements.
- Announcements will be the same for all four parishes. An exception to this rule is if something is happening immediately after Mass, it would only be announced at that Mass.
- Announcements should be short. The purpose of an announcement is to highlight an event and not give full details.
- If a parish exceeds the allotted one page of typed announcements (#14 font, single-spaced) to be read at Mass, the pastors reserve the right to edit as they see necessary.
- The last announcement will remind people to read the bulletin for all the information going on in our parishes. Therefore, please refrain from adding “see the bulletin for more information.”
- The last announcement should read, “Please see the bulletin, Facebook pages, and website for all events and offerings this week.”
