In that spirit of unity and trust, I introduce this Interim Mass Schedules for the Oelwein Pastorate. The plan is to implement these interim schedules from July 15, 2026, through January 15, 2027.

These interim schedules will be evaluated throughout the next six months and adjusted as needed. Please be patient and grace-filled as we allow the proposed schedules time to take effect. The schedules were created with great care and with input from each parish’s leadership. Recognizing that these changes may be difficult for some, please approach this transition with understanding, flexibility, and a shared spirit of unity.  

As we continue moving forward together, may we remain focused on our shared mission and on the joy of celebrating the Eucharist together.

Walking with you on this Journey in Faith,

 Archbishop Thomas Zinkula
