New Feature: Homily Video with Captions
Each week, in addition to the video of the full Sunday Mass, we will also post a video of the homily with closed captioning. In order to use the closed captioning feature, click on the CC symbol in the lower right corner of the homily video and select "English CC". Then click on the Play symbol as usual.
Please note: The homily video will usually be posted about a day later than the full Mass video due to the time needed for the caption process. The full Mass video will not be captioned. -

Mass Guidelines
Attending Mass
- If you have any symptoms that could be Covid-related, or have been around anyone recently with such symptoms or who has tested positive, please do not come to Mass.
- If you are in a vulnerable group (over 60, compromised immune system, pre-existing health conditions) or live with or care for anyone in those groups, please carefully weigh the risks of attending Mass.
- Bishop Duca has suspended our Sunday Mass obligation indefinitely, and he has emphasized that no one should have any pangs of conscience about staying away from Mass at this time. Consider attending a weekday Mass, which has fewer people.
- Everyone must wear a mask and practice social distancing while they are inside the building—even if you have been vaccinated or already had Covid-19 and recovered. The only exceptions are that masks are not required for infants in arms or baby carriers, or for those who cannot wear a mask due to asthma or similar breathing problems.
- If you have it, please bring a personal bottle of hand sanitizer with you. Please sanitize your hands as you enter and leave the church. Hand sanitizer stands are available in the narthex, along with alcohol wipes for cleaning the pew surfaces in the area where you sit.
- Every other pew is closed. Family groups (those who live in the same household) should sit together. All other individuals should maintain a minimum distance of 6 feet from anyone else, whether standing or in the pews.
- There are no Mass coordinators, lectors, commentators, or Eucharistic ministers. Father and the deacons read the Scriptures and administer Communion.
- A collection basket is in the back of the center aisle. We do not pass the baskets to take up the offering.
- Please do not hold hands during the Our Father, other than within family groups.
- The cry room, gathering room, and daily Mass chapel are closed. The bathrooms are open.
Receiving Communion- The Body of Christ will be administered, but not the common chalice.
- As you leave your pew for Communion, continue to wear your mask and maintain social distancing.
- We encourage you to receive the Host in your hand. You may not wear gloves to receive the Host.

I invite you to come worship with us. Although our family comes from every imaginable background and circumstance, we are united in one Faith: the ancient Faith of the New Testament Church, the Catholic Faith.
We believe our lives come to have meaning, purpose, and joy when we know, love, and serve Jesus Christ within the fullness of the family He founded. We open our arms in welcome to you and invite you to become our new sister or brother. On behalf of our family, I invite you to come home.In Christ,
Father Frank Bass, Pastor
