Archbishop Hebda has offered very detailed instructions to our priests about fulfilling their duties to ensure the safety of their parishioners’ health, as well as our spiritual needs.

Although this is very difficult, Archbishop has affirmed that it is not permissible to have "drive up" Communion, nor to hear Confession over cell phones. Fr. Mark is celebrating the Mass privately (not even staff are in attendance), during which he is offering the Eucharistic sacrifice for the intentions of those who previously requested it, and for the needs of the parish and world.

The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is still available to those in great need. Archbishop has established very detailed guidelines for this to be done while following CDC guidelines and Fr. Mark is continuing to offer anointing under those strictures. If you have questions about how this is arranged, please contact Fr. Mark (he checks his email at [email protected] several times daily).

UPDATE: The lastest statement from Archbishop Hebda came out on 04/17. At this time, we know that public liturgies will continue to be suspended until at least May 10, but we will await guidance as to when exactly we can resume Masses at our parish, as the situation unfolds daily.

The most important message is this: we all need one another's prayers. Please continue to use and share all of the resources available to you online and broadcasted on-air.
