Archbishop Vigneron announced that the general dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days will expire on Saturday, March 13, 2021. In its place, he is granting a number of particular dispensations for the faithful who may find themselves in specific circumstances.
"OPEN WIDE YOUR HEART" Ash Wednesday is this week, and God gives us another Lenten season to grow in faith, discipleship, and service as we prepare spiritually for Easter 2021. Even though it is still winter, Lent means that spring is not far away, as the very word “Lent” comes from an old English word for spring. So, this is a time for another new beginning, with trust in God’s ability to provide what we truly need. We continue to make adaptations to our rituals and practices in this time of the pandemic, including limited capacity in church, the wearing masks, and sanitizing in church after each use.
Dear people of St. Mary's life You never leave my heart. These months away in quarantine Have kept us far apart. But every day, before our God Who keeps us safe in hand, I join in Eucharistic Thanks.
Good afternoon/morning! Welcome to St. Mary parish! We are so happy to have you with us! During this time, we continue to be committed to doing all that we can to keep everyone safe and healthy while at mass, but we need your help and cooperation in order to do this. Please follow any directions that are given regarding seating and movement, since social distancing requirements are still in place. With these requirements, we will try to accommodate everyone who joins us for mass.
