Please remember, the Bishop has suspended the obligation to attend Mass for all the faithful.
There is no requirement to attend any of these Masses. You do not need a reason to stay home. The elderly and those with serious health conditions are urged not to attend but to continue to participate online.
Also, anyone with a cough, fever, or any other symptom of a possible Coronavirus infection, or who has been in close contact with someone who has tested positive should not even come and wait outside the church, nor come to the office. Anyone displaying symptoms will be refused entry. Please be considerate of others and stay home if you have any reason to think you may have come into contact with someone who is infected or are infected yourself. Stay safe and stay healthy.
All Masses are open to the public and are first-come / first-served (no reservations needed unless otherwise noted for some special Masses/celebrations). For Masses in the Sanctuary, we will admit 200 people max (this is 20% of our full capacity of 1000). For outside Masses we will admit 200-250 as room allows for safe social distancing. All attendees will need to wear masks (covering both mouth and nose). We are welcoming children ages 2 and up into the Church Sanctuary for Mass. They must wear a mask (covering both mouth and nose) and keep it on throughout the entire Mass, they must also stay with their parents at all times. In order to keep everyone safe, if your child does not keep their mask on or does not stay with you, we will have to ask you to leave.
Live-streams can be seen on YouTube, Facebook Live or our Website).
