"WE CAN ATTEND MASS IN PERSON AGAIN !  We have just received word from the Archbishop that, in accord with the Governor's new Public Health Order, we can now allow people to attend Mass at 25% of seating capacity - which for us is 250 persons.

So, as of tomorrow (Friday, December 4th), we will be able to attend Mass in person. In short, we will be "doing" Mass the way we did from June through October. You do not need a "reservation" : it will be first-come, first served.
If more than 250 people show up for Mass, we will invite then to listen on their car radios and receive Communion at the end of Mass.

We will continue to broadcast all the Masses on 106.5 FM. Those who do not feel comfortable going into the church can listen in their cars. The Eucharistic Ministers will distribute Holy Communion outside the doors of the church after everyone inside has received.

These new regulations also apply to funerals, weddings, and baptisms. Funerals can now be celebrated with a Requiem Mass.

We will be keeping Mass as short as possible. We are back to the 5 minute Sunday sermon (don't you dare cheer !).

At the end of the 9 am weekday Mass we will ask everyone to leave so that we can disinfect the church (about 15 minutes), and then will begin confessions and Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.

Yes, dear family, all these constant changes are confusing and exhausting. Personally I feel like a yo-yo. But I am glad that we can go to Mass in person again. I miss not seeing you in the church at Mass."
