Important News Regarding Mass Attendance

There will be some changes to this weekend's Saturday Vigil and Sunday Masses (June 26, 27). Following the Archdiocese recent guidelines, we are making the following changes:

• No registration is required for this Weekend!!
• Seating will be first come first served.
• Seating capacity is limited 
• Everyone is encouraged to wear a mask
• There will be separate sections for distanced and no-distanced seating.

These guidelines could be relaxed in the future, stayed tuned for more updates.

Tips for the best Mass experience:

• There is no Underground Mass for Saturday Vigil, so please arrive early as capacity is limited. 
• Sunday 8:30 am and 11 am the Underground Church in the Hall is available for Mass via Video with Communion served, if you prefer or if upstairs is full. 
• Sunday 8:30 am Mass usually has more seating available.
• If you require seating assistance please arrive 15-20 minutes early.
• Patience is a virtue. 

Please arrive early!

We look forward to seeing you!
God Bless

With all parishes now in Phase 3, we no longer require 6 feet of social distancing. At the same time, we recognize that some will want to continue to sit distanced, so we will provide areas for that as well. 

Live-streaming and the Underground Church will continue. 

This is a big change. Please be understanding and patient with our Seating Team. When greeted, let the Seaters know whether you want to sit in a 6' distanced section or a reduced distance section. You may be asked to sit somewhere different than you are used to, due to having 2 types of sections.

Please Continue Your Financial Support

The suspension of public Masses will seriously impact our weekly collection. Like most parishes, 90% of our revenue comes from the generous support of our faith community. This generosity supports the many ministries of the church as well as maintenance of the building and grounds, utilities, insurance, and payroll. Please remember our parish in your prayers and by making your regular donation. During this time when the Church is closed please mail your donation or sign up for electronic giving by clicking here.
