Holy Communion also provided after Mass until approx 5:30.
Sunday June 28
If you are still unable to join us at Sunday Masses, please consider attending once a week at a daily Mass where you can easily find a space far from others where you might be more comfortable.
Mondays through Fridays
Confessions
Monday 5pm - 6pm (except holidays)
Friday 5pm - 6pm (except holidays)
*** We are inside church in the main body of the church (nave/transepts) to avoid the small spaces in the confessionals. Therefore, we are unable to offer Confessions on Saturdays before Mass because people are entering church for Mass and therefore would limit the privacy of those in confession. Priests are behind screens in front of the confessional and in front of the choir area.

We pray
for all who are suffering from COVID-19 related illness or loss of jobs, and especially for our healthcare professionals and emergency responders. May they find their strength in the Lord and the love of friends and family.
Amen.

Thank you!
We would love to have everyone join us, but please stay at home if you have fragile health or show symptoms of COVID-19.
If you have been with us and then become sick, please tell us immediately so that we can do whatever is necessary to inform our parishioners.
Please wear a mask in church, for your sake and for the rest of us.
We have extra masks on the entry table if you forget yours. Please do not take masks from the table to give away to others because we do not have an endless supply. These masks are so that people can attend Mass. Thank you for cooperating.

Most of you know the routines, so we moved detailed explanations to a new page on our parish website.
