While our county remains in the Green Phase of statewide reopening, all of us need to do our part to make sure that our return to Mass is a peaceful and safe experience for all.  Please take the time to read the guidelines below.  We ask everyone to follow these guidelines when attending Mass during this period:

• Mass will continue to be available via live-stream every Sunday at 9:30am
