Please remain safe & know of our prayers.
COVID-19 Updates
Public Mass has Resumed! However, we have done some necessary changes to ensure we can resume in a safe manner. The details of which are here.
Mass Times during this time: Saturday - 5pm, Sunday - 10am. Confessions - 4:15pm Saturday, 9:15am Sunday, or by appointment.
Please note that we can only be at 25% capacity, which is about 30 people. Seating is therefore limited. Consider the 5 pm vigil Mass or a daily Mass at St. Francis Xavier where there are less attendees and more room to be spaced out, if you want to attend and have space.
The obligation to attend Mass on Sunday continues to be dispensed until the end of August. If you feel sick or uncomfortable returning just yet, you can wait to return.
This obviously is a continuing period of uncertainty for us all. Please remain patient as we make adjustments to our public worship plans to maintain everyone's health and safety.
Please take this time to take care of yourselves and your loved ones, but please also pray for those suffering at this time from the coronavirus or the fear of it. Please pray for an end to the coronavirus.

The month of July traditionally honors the Most Precious Blood of Jesus. It is the blood of Christ, the Lamb of God, which cleanses us from sin—therefore the Church developed a devotion to Jesus' physical blood and its mystical power, just as it did for His Sacred Heart from which His blood poured out on the Cross. The Precious Blood of Jesus courses through the Church spiritually, giving eternal life to the Body of Christ through the sacraments. Many saints had a devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus, especially St. Catherine of Siena. Devotion to the Precious Blood spread widely through the preaching of Saint Gaspar del Bufalo, who was a 19th-century priest and the founder of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. This devotion was later approved and recommended by the Holy See. The feast day of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus is July 1st.
