Dear Parishioners,

This week is the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time. We hope that if you were unable to register to attend public mass that you are able to join us for our live streamed mass at 10AM. **Please be aware that due to COVID-19, Archbishop Gerard has given dispensation for all Sunday obligations. This means you are not obligated to attend mass, and we will continue to live-stream Sunday mass on our Facebook page until the dispensation has been lifted.

There are a few things for you to check out this week: We have included a graphic to remind you on what to remember when attending mass using the word “MASS” in mind (Masks, Arrive early, Sign up online & Stay safe). We also would like to continue to invite you to a few events we are having weekly: Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 7pm-7:45pm on Fridays and Reconciliation from 1-2pm on Fridays (both are no-sign-up-necessary). Another reminder to continue using our new method of signing up online and you can now sign up multiple people at one time online. Your spiritual home still needs your support- find out more on how to donate online.

We also wanted to include that we are now hiring!
