(Mailing Sent Out 6/16/2020)
| 2020_parish_letter_for_reopening_churches_copy.pdf |
We are currently at step two of our plan to return:
This means the faithful are welcome to participate in *Limited* public Liturgy. Dispensation for Mass Still Applies. LIVE-STREAMING Will Continue.
(6/23/2020)
We are doing our very best to keep a clean and safe environment, but please understand that gathering in a group no matter how many PRECAUTIONS taken is still a Risk!
Come to know the God who loves you!
