Streaming Mass

Mass Attendance
Mass reservations are no longer required! We will take your contact information as you arrive at church.
No Need to Register but Please Check In
We have eliminated the need to register for Mass on-line. On arrival, please stop at one of the two locations (A-K or L-Z, based on your last name) in the Gathering Area and offer your name to the usher. They will ask for your email if it’s not on file to accommodate tracing purposes. Many thanks for your patience as well all work together for a healthy, safe environment in gathering to worship.
The Role of our Greeters
After registering at the door and moving to the church doors, please safely distance while waiting for the “greeters’ to seat you. Their role is to seat you at a safe distance from others and to assist at Communion and dismissal in maintaining safe social distancing. For safety reasons, please follow their direction.
Please remember that masks are required at Church. Please wear a well fitting cloth or surgical mask. Per CDC guidelines, face shields are not sufficient, they should not be worn unless accompanied by a cloth or surgical mask.
As these months go by and this has become routine for many, we are pleased that our parish family members are returning for the first time. Everyone’s safety is our first priority and we want all to feel welcomed, safe and knowing “Lord, how good it is for us to be here.” Thank you.
