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 September 23rd. 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 Church dedicates the month of September to Our Lady of Sorrows. This devotion recalls the Blessed Virgin Mary’s spiritual martyrdom in virtue of her perfect union with the Passion of Christ. This was her role in salvation history, and what merited her place as the spiritual Mother of all Christians. This is symbolized by a single sword, or seven swords, piercing Mary's suffering heart, as foretold in Simeon's prophecy. Traditionally the Church meditates on the "Seven Sorrows" of our Blessed Mother: the prophecy of Simeon; the Holy Family's flight into Egypt; the loss of the Child Jesus for three days; the meeting of Mary and Jesus as he carried his cross; Jesus' crucifixion and death; Jesus' sacred body taken down from the cross; and Jesus' burial. The feast of Our Lady of Sorrows is September 15th.
