The church building is closed until further notice. All parish activities are postponed or canceled.

We plan to continue posting a video of the Saturday Vigil Mass each Saturday evening, on this page and on our Facebook page.

The weekly Harvester bulletin is available HERE.

Let's continue to pray for one another, and remain united through our closeness to Our Lord.

Bishop Michael Duca has suspended the public celebration of all Masses throughout the diocese until futher notice. The Bishop has also dispensed our Sunday and Holy Day Mass obligation.

Father Frank continues celebrating Mass privately each day for the intentions in our Mass book and for all the needs of the parish and its members.



Father Frank invites parishioners to be “morally present” with him at Mass by praying, at home, an Our Father, a Hail Mary, and a Glory Be at our usual weekday and weekend Mass times. You are also encouraged to make an act of Spiritual Communion at those times.

Per Bishop Duca's 3/17/2020 guidelines, "the Sacrament of Reconciliation should only be offered at the request and need of an individual penitent. Regularly scheduled and advertised times of Reconciliation should be suspended until further notice."

On March 17th, Bishop Duca released a letter addressing important matters such as the Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation (Confession), Matrimony, and Anointing of the Sick, as well as funerals, Adoration, homebound & hospital ministry, and other parish activities. Please read it here:

The Bishop's earlier guidelines and letters are also available at the bottom of that linked page.
