Confession will resume in the church on Saturdays beginning at 3:00 p.m. until 3:45 p.m. before the Vigil Mass. You may still call the office and make an appointment for confession.
The Saturday Vigil Mass will be recorded and made available in English and Spanish on Sunday morning for those who will not be able to attend. (The YouTube link will be posted on this website and on Facebook)
A general dispensation from the Sunday obligation will remain.
Many people, especially those who are at risk of possible infection or illness, and those who care for them, are strongly encouraged to stay home and participate by watching our online Mass. This also means that one can come to church for Mass on any day of the week (not just Sunday). This will help to give people more of a chance to celebrate Mass in person at least once a week.
