Good Afternoon Pax Christi Youth Ministry,
I'm just getting confirmation from the Pastoral Center in Winona that Bishop Quinn has suspended public Masses and public gatherings at all parishes in the diocese until May 15th.
Churches will remain open for personal prayer and for other Sacraments such as Confession.
I'll be sure to keep you as up to date as possible on further developments.
Pax Christi Staff is meeting tomorrow morning and I should have an update soon after.
We are working on possibly streaming Masses from Pax Christi. Until I have more details I would encourage you to look for Masses that will be streamed all over the web! One place being Word on Fire (Bishop Barron's Ministry). He will be streaming daily. Check it out:
I've attached Bishop Quinn's full statement. The Diocese has also built a web page with details related to the COVID-19 outbreak found here:
Stay tuned for more to come! Dana and I are here for you so let us know how we might be able to help.
Please know of my prayers for you! Continue to pray for all who are and will be infected as well as those who care for the victims.
Peace,
Zach
