March 14/15, 2020 NOTE FROM THE BISHOP: Considering the continued progression of the Corona Virus, and out of an abundance of caution, we are implementing the following steps beginning immediately:  The Sign of Peace should be a non-touching gesture.  No holding hands during The Lord’s Prayer.  Distribution of the Precious Blood during Sunday and weekday Masses will be suspended.  Encouraging people to receive the Sacred Host in the hand rather than on the tongue, though that is still the Communicant’s option.  Holy water fonts on the end aisles will be left empty for now. If you feel sick, you are not obliged to come to Mass. Amid all this, we encourage you to remain calm, make every effort to celebrate Masses and the Sacrament of devotion, while also taking the proper precautions. We will continue to monitor the situation and advise of any further steps that we might need to take as they develop. Thank you. Bishop Bradley
