We are all very anxious to be back for our communal celebration of the Eucharist.  The first Mass when we will return will be tomorrow, Monday, May 25th at 9:00AM.  Following our guidelines we tried to get as many parishioners as possible into the church for our worship. We have total of 14 spaces for couple (or two people from the same family), 21 spaces for individuals and spaces for six families at each Mass.  This norm will apply for both weekdays as well as weekend Masses.  Those who normally come for Sunday Mass, some of you may have to make some adjustment by opting to come on Saturday.  According to our distancing rule we will not be able to accommodate everyone who normally come on Sundays.  So please be considerate and try to adjust some of you to come on Saturday during this difficult times of Corona Virus Pandemic.  If you are sick please don't come to the church and you are with us in our prayers.  Once again please refer to the attached guidelines to further assist you. And share these guidelines and email with your fellow parishioners, especially those who do not have internet capabilities.  Thank you and God Bless you!
