Worship with Us!
Although we no longer require pre-registration for public Masses, all other safety guidelines as put forward by the Diocese and state and local government officials are still being followed. Face covering is required and social distancing will still be in effect and we will still closely monitor the seating in the Worship Space to make sure we do not exceed the capacity allowed.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community safe and healthy!

The Safety & Security Team and the Night Managers are essential ministries which help ensure the safety of our parish community and church building.
