St. Mary & St. Patrick
Catholic Parishes

Sept 19,   Due to the increase in Covid cases the Bishop asks we discontinue the Peace sign. We are already pretty much doing that but as long as no contact is made we can still do it. So far no mention of Mask needs. If you feel better about wearing one please feel free to do so, you will not be made fun of, only seen as person with extra concerns.
Nursing homes (if not closed) are stating to test 2 times a week even if you have had shots.
So just be safe and use your comon sense, we want to see your smiling faces at the Masses.    .

At this time the Diocese is remaining as it has been on its safety protocols.  
 Pretty much back to so called normal. If you have not had shots it is recomended you wear a mask for yourself if you wish. Bishop has removed the covid dispensation that allowed to not have to physically go to Mass. Now full service, holy water, singing, but presently not doing Precious Blood to general communion yet. Still recomend you use antibiotic gel when entering church as offered.
It will be good to have you all back again with us.
God Bless
Deacon Richard
