Mass Schedule Change. In an effort to comply as much as possible with “social distancing” recommendations while still offering access to Mass and the sacraments, we will be having additional Masses each day. However, please note that any of our schedules can be nullified by the imposition of new government regulations. On our side, we will do whatever is possible to bring you Mass and the sacraments for as long as we can. Please check our website for schedule updates and other information.
Palm Sunday, April 5th Schedule: We will offer low Mass at 7:00 AM, 8:30 AM, and 12:30 PM. Confessions will be available during each low Mass. A High Mass with Blessing of Palms will be at 10:00 AM. Blessed Palms will be available after the High Mass and throughout the week, for those attending a low Mass. We will notify you of any government mandated changes to this schedule.
Catechism classes are cancelled beginning March 29 at least through Easter. We will notify you at that time if we are able to continue them.
