Our county remains in Purple Tier. The new county health order (effective 10:00PM Sunday December 6) continues to allow outdoor religious services. Indoor services are prohibited. 

The daily Masses at 8:00 AM are indoor private Masses with no public admittance. With the exception of Wednesday, all weekday and weekend Masses are live-streamed on Facebook. Communion is available after the daily Mass, except on Wednesdays. Weekday  Communion distribution occurs on the north side vestibule of the church (Ministry Center side of the parking lot).

For the weekend, we have one public Saturday outdoor vigil mass at 4:00 PM, a Sunday morning private Mass at 8:00 AM, and a public Sunday morning outdoor Mass at 10:00 AM. Communion distribution will be available at the patio entrance for 15 minutes after all three Masses: Saturday from 4:45 PM until 5:00 PM, Sunday from 8:45 AM until 9:00 AM, and Sunday from 10:45 until 11:00 AM.

In case of strong wind or rain, we will have private mass live-streamed instead of an outdoor Mass, but we will still have Communion distribution at the above mentioned times regardless of weather conditions. 

These are difficult times and we are doing everything we can to provide a good and safe Mass experience. We appreciate your patience and understanding. 

Note: Until further notice, weekend  Masses are outdoor only. Daily Masses are Live-streamed only. Please follow the protocols as they apply to Outdoor Masses, and remember to bring your folding chairs.

5. Ushers may ask you to move if it appears social distancing is not being maintained. Please respond graciously and cooperate with such requests.
6. Refrain from using the church restrooms except in emergency.
7. Only one person is allowed in the restroom at any time, unless a parent is accompanying a child or if you are assisting someone.
8. At the end of Mass please be attentive to social distancing as you exit.

To Attend Indoor Mass:
1. No registration is required to attend Masses at this time. As indoor Mass attendance increases, we may add a reservation process for certain popular weekend Masses.  We will communicate changes via Flocknote and updates to this webpage.
2. Please arrive 10-15 minutes before Mass to allow enough time to take your seat. Please note: the doors will be closed once Mass begins.
3. Mass attendees must enter the church through the back (patio) doors and exit through the side doors.

The indoor Mass experience:
1. No public singing.
2. No kneeling during the Mass.
3. No shaking of hands during the Sign of Peace or holding hands at the Lord’s Prayer.
4. For the indoor Masses, Holy Communion will be distributed at the regular time of Mass. After
consuming the Host, return to your seats for the final blessings. For the outdoor Mass  Communion will be distributed at the conclusion of the Mass.
5. Masks are to be kept on until you receive the Body of Christ and put them back after you consume the
Eucharist.

We realize these temporary changes may be difficult, but we ask for your cooperation in a spirit of charity, and flexibility . 

Once again, thank you for your prayers and cooperation!
