Dear Families,
With the issuance of the new stay-at-home order in our region, we want to reach out with the most up-to-date information that we have regarding First Communion Masses and First Reconciliation liturgies.

First, our First Reconciliation liturgies will  ALL BE DELAYED BY AT LEAST FOUR WEEKS:
At this time, we will be delaying the First Reconciliation dates to May 29 and June 5 (tentatively). These dates are contingent on no further restrictions going into effect.

Since families are only entering the church long enough to receive the sacrament and then exiting immediately, we can do this safely and well within our allotted 15% capacity. We will have several volunteers on hand to make sure social distancing is maintained and to disinfect the stations after each confession. I've created a brief video for  you and your child to see what this will look like:

Second, Our First Communion Masses will ALL BE DELAYED BY AT LEAST FOUR WEEKS

We know this is not the news you were wanting, but it is necessary. Our Masses were originally scheduled several weeks ago at 30% capacity, which has now been reduced to 15%. Further, as the Covid-19 case numbers continue to rise daily, we recognize that further restrictions on our capacity could be implemented at any time.

At this time, we will be delaying the First Communion Masses to June 12, June 19 and June 26 (tentatively). These dates are contingent on no further restrictions going into effect.

We will hold off until WEDNESDAY, MAY 12 to open the new registration forms, in case we have to adjust our plans again. All previous registrations for a specific Mass are cancelled and all families will have to register for a Mass time again.

Friends, I know this is frustrating but I assure you we will do everything we can to make these sacraments as safe, special and meaningful as your child deserves. Please reach out with any questions or concerns and thanks for your understanding during these trying times for us all.

In the Risen Jesus,
Debbie Frey
