News Bites for January 9th ...
Baptism of the Lord
MASKS REQUIRED ONCE AGAIN!
Effective immediately, everyone must wear a mask at all Masses and parish functions, regardless of vaccination status. Masks will be available for those who need them. Thank you for all you are doing to keep us all safe. If we can keep just one person from serious illness or worse, it's worth the extra precaution!
