For the safety and well-being of all our parishioners, we remind everyone that receiving Holy Communion in your hand is the accepted, ordinary method of reception. Unless an individual has a physical condition that does not allow for their reception via the hand, we will not be distributing Holy Communion ‘on the tongue’.
Please let the mass captain know prior to the beginning of mass if you require an accommodation.
Thank you for your love, your continued understanding and cooperation.
- We also respectfully request that you maintain social distancing, practice safe hygiene and be kind to one another while on our parish property. We should resolve to love one another as Christ loves us.
