ANNOUNCEMENTS
Please note our Parish office is CLOSED to the public until further notice.
Bishop Alberto Rojas has lifted the special dispensation from attending Sunday Mass and other Holy Days of Obligation. This dispensation was given back in March of 2020 when the coronavirus lockdowns began. This special dispensation allowed the faithful to attend mass via television or livestream. Now, this dispensation has been lifted meaning that attending mass via television or livestream is no longer valid for capable people. People 65 years and older, the sick, and disabled are still excused from attending in person mass.
It is time to come back to the Church. Welcome Home!
*For reference, Code of Canon Law of the Church #1247 states: On Sundays and other holy days of obligation, the faithful are obliged to participate in the Mass.*
