- MASS ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES
At 3:00 pm on Wednesday, you can begin signing up (include your phone number after your name) for this weekend’s and next week’s daily Masses at https://reopen.church/r/edidKl7B. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU NEED TO CANCEL: after 4:30 on Friday, contact me or Fr. Jaison (by email if possible).
Please sign up for WEEKEND Masses only every second week, thus permitting your fellow parishioners the chance to attend, as you would hope they would do for you. If there are open spaces on the registration form by Friday afternoon, you may register then even if you came last week. Keep checking, because sometimes people cancel even Saturday.
For those unable to secure a spot at Sunday Mass and who watch our Mass online, Holy Communion will be available on the apron of the church, just outside the main door, at 12:30 pm SHARP on Sunday.
Weather permitting, you can attend weekend Masses without reservations seated outdoors, listening by speaker, with Holy Communion brought to you.

- The media has exploded in the past week concerning comments about civil unions for same-sex couples made by Pope Francis in a recent documentary. It has come to light that these were highly edited comments taken out of context from a 2019 interview. Nonetheless, it is unfortunate that the Vatican has not yet offered any clarification, thus creating confusion and anxiety among Catholics. This article is one of the more balanced and thoughtful responses to “Moviegate”.
