• Any visitors to the office or parish will need to wear a face mask/covering, sanitize their hands if entering the building, maintain social distancing, and be prepared to answer questions regarding fever/cough, sickness, if entering the building.

• Likewise, staff members will wear face masks/coverings, wash their hands, and maintain social distancing.

• Parishioners who wish to drop off their offertory envelope may continue to do so by way of our secure mailbox located at the end of the sidewalk of the parish office.

Sacrament of Confession. Confessions are held on Saturday afternoons from 4:00 PM to 4:45 PM in the Parish Hall. Please enter the front doors of the church on the Parish Hall side. An usher will direct you to the line for confessions.

Suspicious Emails and Scams. There continues to be fraudulent emails being received by staff and parishioners from a spam account using Archbishop Gregory's or other priests’ names. Please note that the Archbishop and priests will not communicate a need for assistance in this way. Please be diligent in not responding to suspicious emails; instead, mark them as phishing and spam. Do not reply to the email.
