GOOD NEWS!!!
In reference to Bishop Soto's letter dated June 1, 2021, starting Friday, June 18, 2021, all celebrations of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, as well as other sacramental and worship services, will change to 100% of the seating capacity. The general dispensation from the obligation to attend mass in person, will be revoked starting June 20, 2021.
The Sunday 10:00 A.M mass will still be livestreamed for the benefit of those who cannot attend due to illness or a vulnerable health condition.
Please keep in mind that public health precautions are still important to follow: hand washing, use of hand sanitizers, physical distancing, any form of physical contacts, and we strongly encouarge to wear face covering. Thank you for your patience and support during those challenging times. Let us always keep each other in our prayers.
