UPDATED PARISH RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 VIRUS
The dispensation from the obligation of attending Sunday and Holy Day Masses remains in effect for those who are vulnerable and have concerns returning to a public Mass. While the obligation remains dispensed, the commandment to keep holy the Sabbath remains. If you are unable to attend Mass or join the Mass on radio, TV, or via the Internet, then please keep the day holy through the reading of scripture, recitation of the Rosary, or other spiritual activities.
Know that Fr. Guanalla is praying for you daily.
Wash your hands, stay healthy, and may God bless you!
