All weekday Masses count for the Sunday Obligation until further notice.

All of the faithful of the Diocese continue to be dispensed from their obligation to Sunday Mass.

Parishioners with symptoms of illness (cough, fever, chills, loss of taste/smell), and those most vulnerable to infection, are encouraged to stay home.

The Adoration Chapel:
The Adoration Chapel remains closed until further notice.
 
Confessions:
For the time being we will continue to have "drive-thru" Confession at St. Ann's in the circle driveway under the canopy in the front of church on Saturdays from 9am to 10:30am. 

Parish Office Administration:
The Parish Office will remain closed to visitors until further notice. However, our parish staff is working and will be glad to help you with whatever you may need...just call the office. And, as always, Fr. Massie is available for emergencies.  
 
Anointing of the Sick:
The sick who are in critical condition may still receive the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick.

When we are unable to make it to Mass, we can still make an Act of Spiritual Communion, in which we convey our faith in Christ and in His Presence in the Holy Eucharist, and we ask Him to unite Himself with us. The basic aspects of an Act of Spiritual Communion are an Act of Faith; an Act of Love; a desire to receive Christ; and an invitation to Him to come into your heart.

An Act of Spiritual Communion was highly recommended by many saints, according to Pope John Paul II. He explained that practicing this constant desire for Jesus in the Eucharist is rooted in the ultimate perfection of Eucharistic communion, which is the ultimate goal of every human desire.
