The Responsorial Psalm that we will pray together this Sunday is Lord, in your great love, answer me, (Psalm 69). The time has finally arrived that we can pray together as a parish community. YAY! Thanks be to God and through the intercession of our patroness, our Blessed Mother Mary. Our prayers throughout these 3 months have been heard. Undoubtedly, it will be look and be different; not only for you and your family, but for your priests and deacons as well.
You may have heard the phrase "the new normal" or "we are in this together." Well, it is and we are. The precautionary measures are in the best interest for you and your families. Please be patient with your fellow parishioners and with us if you decide to come to Mass this weekend. We are looking forward to seeing you but realize some may not want to attend at this time. That's perfectly fine. We'll see you when you are comfortable to be present. Please be assured we are delighted to wave at the covered faces we encounter this weekend.
Father Fields has graciously offered more details in the videos below for the expectations as we gather together for Mass.
We will not be printing a paper bulletin as we reconvene for Mass at this time. Get the latest HERE.
