The average attendance at our four weekend Masses under Phase 2 guidelines has held steady for the past four weeks at 100 parishioners. Even with the challenges of wildfire evacuation alerts and poor air quality our Mass attendance on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 12th and 13th was at 95. The average daily Mass attendance has also stabilized at an average of 15 per week. If you haven't been attending and desire to do so now, please contact the office or Donna or Nancy. The 9:00 AM Mass and the Saturday evening Mass are at capacity but the Saturday noon Mass (for those with underlying conditions)and the Sunday evening Mass still have plenty of room.
Beginning Wednesday, July 1st, our church office will be open from 9 AM - 4 PM every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The office will be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you are visiting the office, remember that you are to wear a mask. If you would like a bulletin mailed to you because you do not have an email account or the internet, please contact the office.
