Dear Friends,
This page contains updated information about Coronavirus/Covid-19 and how we are responding as a community of faith.
New as of March 19: beginning Monday, March 23, Cardinal Sean has suspended the celebration of any Funeral Mass or Funeral Liturgy in the church. Cemetery committal services are still available, and we invite bereaved families to schedule Memorial Masses for their loved ones once public worship can safely resume.
New as of March 17: the parish offices are closed for the time being. However, the pastoral staff are present and available by phone and email to serve you.
Beginning at 4:00pm on Saturday, March 14, all daily and Sunday Masses and religious services are suspended until further notice. In announcing this, Cardinal Sean also has issued a dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass.
Want to help?
During this time of crisis and isolation, our community of faith is doing our best to stay connected and make sure no one is left without the supplies or support they need.
We have started a list of volunteers who are willing to help out in the following ways:
--Put together a food box and leave it at the door of someone in need
--Make phone calls to those experiencing Isolation
--Pick up a prescription and deliver it to someone in need
If you would like to be added to the list of volunteers, please email Kate Neal.
