Dear Saint Mary’s Friends,

Things went well this weekend at our first indoor Mass. Praise God.
Please note we are adding more Hall Masses this coming weekend:
PARISH HALL MASSES

Saturday, June 20
4:30 PM

Sunday, June 21
8:00 AM
10:30 AM*

*The 10:30 AM Mass will be livestreamed

Spots at these Masses must be reserved. Reservations will go live Tuesday, June 16 at noon.
This past weekend, our volunteers had a few added challenges because some who made reservations changed their numbers. Since we must arrange the seating according to family groups and allow for social distancing, such changes have an impact on the whole seating plan. Please be aware of this when signing up.

Our volunteers have been invaluable, because without them Masses would not be allowed. So, thank you all very much for your generous help toward re-opening Mass in our Parish.
