Please Bring Your Own Masks
We have been going through the masks in the vestibule very quickly. We ask that you please keep or bring your own mask, but we will continue to provide masks for anyone who forgets theirs. Thanks!
Building Fund Collection
This week we will have our monthly Building Fund collection. Thank you for your continued generosity.
Please Stay Home if Sick
As we have said in past years, if you are sick it is not necessary to come to Mass. In such instances, it is an act of charity toward your fellow parishioners, especially those more susceptible to illness, to remain at home.
Sung Vespers Tonight
We will have Sung Vespers tonight at 5:30 followed by the 6pm Mass.
