A Small Child's Prayer
by Deacon Bob Alexander

Daily Mass will begin on May 5th at 8:30am in the Church. Everyone must maintain social distancing and wear a mask.

Weekend Masses will begin on Saturday, May 9th at 4:30pm, Sunday, May 10th at 8:00am, 10:00am and 12:00pm (Spanish).

We will continue to live stream one English and one Spanish Mass each weekend.

There will be a limited number of people allowed in the church. Everyone must wear a mask. 25% capacity.  We will see how this works out and Mass times may change in the future.

Mass is still not an obligation right now, so if you are sick or at risk or uncomfortable, we ask that you stay home.

Communion will be given in the Hand. You leave your mask on and receive in your hand step to the side over the paten and receive the host.  If you have a problem receiving in the hand, perhaps you should wait to attend Mass until things return to normal.
