In preperation for a return to our regular Mass times the 9:30 AM Mass that we have all become accustomed to will be moving to 10:30 AM. Much of this is because as public Masses resume (in step 2) we will need to return to our normal schedule. Step 2 will take place once we have another two week period of declining numbers in the state of Iowa. We will continue to stream Masses Live for the foreseeable future, no matter what stage or step we are on.
