I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
– Psalm 122

With the county’s recent shift to the red tier, we will be celebrating the Mass for Passion Sunday this week inside the Church! We will be maintaining the virtual services via Zoom for our remote congregants and anyone who is not yet ready to assume the risk of indoor worship.

Please note: Even with appropriate safeguards, an increased risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any social gathering or public place where other people are present. By attending services in person, you voluntarily assume all risks and personal responsibility for any related illness or other complications. We strongly urge parishioners in the CDC high risk category who have not yet been fully vaccinated (2 weeks after the last vaccination) to continue to attend services virtually.

Our required Reopening Protocol form will be posted at both entrances and may be viewed here.
