Schedule Changes
This Saturday, September 5, Confessions at St. Louise have been cancelled. Confessions will still be held at Saint Joan of Arc from Noon-12:30pm.
The 7:00am Mass on Monday, September 7 has been cancelled due to the Labor Day holiday.
SCHOOL MASSES WILL RESUME
As our school resumes classes, we will also begin to have School Masses again.
On Fridays, at our 9:00 AM Mass, we will welcome part of our school population. To maintain safe numbers, and to allow other people not connected with the school to attend, only 2 grades will join us in church each week. (We will be streaming the Mass to the rest of the students still back in their classrooms, so that they can participate as well.) Those who are particularly cautious about being present at events with a larger number of people should be mindful of this if they wanted to attend Mass at that time. Another day or time might be better.
Tuesday Adoration
We have resumed our Tuesday Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in St. Louise de Marillac church. Each Tuesday, Exposition will begin immediately following the 9:00 am Mass and end with Prayers for Healing and Benediction at 7:30 pm.
We urgently need folks to commit to adoring our Lord inside St Louise de Marillac between 10:00 am - 8:00 pm. Please click on the button below to view the online sign up sheet.
A reminder that the rosary is usually prayed at 6:30 pm and confessions are from 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm as well.
Thank You!
We appreciate your continued compliance with our Diocesan directives on safely attending Mass and church service. We realize that this can be burdensome to some and are grateful for your patience so that we can keep our churches open.
Just a reminder, the directives are as follows:
- Our churches are limited to 25% capacity (i.e. no more than 200 people at St. Louise de Marillac and no more than 110 people at St. Joan of Arc.)
- Some type of mask/covering MUST be worn over one's nose and mouth when entering the church and at all times when inside, even when seated.
- Hand sanitizer is to be used upon entering the church.
- Six feet of distance from others should be maintain throughout the Mass and when approaching Communion. (This does not apply to members of your immediate household -- e.g. spouse, siblings, parents, those you live with.)
The fact that everyone has been cooperating with these requirements is truly gratifying and much appreciated! Such consideration helps to limit the possibility of spreading infection and, thus, gets us closer to the time when we can put all this behind us!
