UPDATE:  3/26/2020 

The parish office is now closed to the public.  Please mail, e-mail, or telephone the office for any needs or concerns.

​

Location change for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  Confessions will now be heard through the screen door of the east rectory porch.  Please look for a sign.  

​

​

As you are aware, due to the coronavirus situation, all parish events, including daily and weekend Masses, have been canceled until further notice.  Below you will find direct links to various online resources which you are invited to use to help you spiritually during this difficult time.

​

Please note that our church will remain open daily, Monday through Sunday, from 7:00am-5:00pm for private prayer.  Please use either the handicap or the front east side door for entry.

​

While all public Masses are suspended, Fr. Guanella will still personally say private Masses each day for the scheduled Mass intentions and for the people of the parish.  Father encourages all to practice a spiritual communion with the Lord.  A short Spiritual Communion prayer can be found below.

​

The Sacrament of Reconciliation will continue to be offered on Wednesdays from 3:30-5:30pm and on Saturdays from 2:30-4:00pm   

​

Regularly scheduled and Lenten home visits and communion calls are suspended. If there is an emergency situation (that is, end of life), please do not hesitate to contact the parish or Father Guanella’s emergency line in order for the sacraments to be administered. Special procedures are currently in place.

​

The parish bulletin will continue to be published weekly.  It will be available at the church entrances and online. 

​

Weekly offerings may be mailed or dropped off at the parish office (use the drop box located on the parish porch) or placed in the receptacles located in church. Consider signing up for ACH withdrawl.  The form and instructions can be downloaded from our site.  As a third alternative you may make an electronic donation by using this link:    (You will receive full credit for your donation, however, please know there is a 3% bank processing fee charged to the parish for use of this service.)   

​

Know that Fr. Guanalla is praying for you daily, especially during his private Masses.

Wash your hands, stay healthy, and may God bless you!
