- Plague protocol: Masks must be worn in accordance with health regulations. If you or your family members are ill, please do not venture out, but call one of the priests to let us know and to arrange for the sacraments. As long as the state is under “Level 2” precautions, there will be no Church sponsored social gatherings. Work groups, Church cleaning, and necessary Church projects will continue as planned. See the parish website for developing details.
