Message from Father Paul
Bishop Zinkula has stated that we can begin to re-open the churches fro private prayer. We are currently at "Step One" and that is described in his letter:
"Step 1 reopens the churches for private prayer at the discretion of the pastor or PLC if a process of regular cleaning and disinfection can be maintained. Everyone must wear face protection. No more than 10 people may be in the church at any one time. Private Masses continue, which ideally are livestreamed, or recorded and posted. There is no public celebration of the Mass. The celebration outside of Mass of Baptisms, weddings, and funerals can include up to ten people. Visits for Communion other than Viaticum are suspended. Adoration chapels remain closed. Staff should continue to work from home as much as possible. Meetings and faith formation continue to be held virtually."
If you would like to visit the church for any reason, please check in at the office during normal hours and someone will let you in.
