Fr. Peter teaches procedures for Mass and Communion for the 2020-21 School Year.

Dear Parishioners, I received a call from the health department informing me that someone who had tested positive for COVID listed me as someone they had been around, so I was advised to self quarantine for 14days. I do not have any symptoms but am monitoring my temperature, etc. as instructed. Fr. Scott is covering the weekday Masses for me, and will do the First Communion Mass on August 8th. Deacon Jim will be doing communion services for each of the regularly scheduled weekend Masses. I will record my private Mass for Sunday and post it on the parish website, but there will be no livestream this weekend( August 8th and 9th). If all goes well I will be back doing Mass on August 15th. -- Fr. Peter
