Living the Gospel with Love and Courage
A considerable challenge in these days of multiple, and often dubious, sources of information, it is sometimes hard to know where to find good, solid information. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control web site is an unquestioned source of information regarding the coronavirus.
A newsletter was mailed recently to all parishioners that contains all the necessary information for the resumption of public celebrations of Mass. Please review it carefully. Or, you can also access the newsletter here.
CHANGE IN SCHEDULE: As we return to the public celebration of Mass we continue to assess what we are doing and how. This weekend we will celebrate Mass at 4 p.m. Saturday and 9:30 a.m. Sunday. We want to be responsive to the needs of our parishioners, as well as to the safety of our ministers and staff.
You'll find the form for reserving spots for this week's Lord's Day Masses on our homepage.
Our parish offers a weekly celebration of Lord's Day Mass, a link to which can be found at the top of this page. There also are several options of televised Masses for those who do not have access to the internet. Please share this information with people you know who cannot participate in Mass on-line.
