Below are some important points to be aware of when returning to Mass:

For us to monitor attendance, the front entrance doors of the Main Church will be the only point of entry.
We ask that you refrain from congregating in the gathering area before and after Mass.
Maintain proper social distancing when choosing a pew and while walking up for Communion.
At this time Communion will only be given in the hand.
To help keep a safe environment we have removed the missals from the pews and recommend you bring a Magnificat or use your phone to follow along if you desire.
We highly encourage all those attending Mass to wear a face mask and to have their own hand sanitizer.
We encourage those in the high-risk category to continue to join us from home via the live stream Mass.
The Bishop has dispensed the faithful from the Sunday obligation until further notice.

Main Church Renovation and Restoration

For those of you who have not yet seen the completed restoration of the Main Church I invite you to view the before and after video which has been created. The link is below, and it shows such a marvelous transformation of our beautiful Church. I want to thank all those who made this possible through their generous donations and for all those who prayed diligently for the success of the Capital Campaign project. I want to also thank the members of our Building Committee; John Alexander, Robert Fernandez and Larry Gaskins, who worked so hard to ensure the success of this endeavor. I also want to thank Patrick Kinnare and Gerry Serfilippi who worked with Danis Construction daily to see the project to completion.

Our sights have now turned to the interior renovation and we are getting close to the selection process of a construction firm to work with us to complete this much needed project. We will have much more to share with you in the coming months and ask you to continue your prayers for this project.

Yours sincerely in Christ,

Fr. Sebastian
