Every evening the rosary will be recited at 6:30 p.m. in front of the Fatima Grotto – and immediately following 5:00pm mass Saturday.  Bring a…

Dear Parishioners, Recently the Archbishop informed us that as of Monday, May 18th, we will be able to celebrate public Masses in the church.  As you can imagine, there are numerous directives which must be followed in order to safely celebrate the Mass in public. A thorough explanation will be given on Wednesday, May 20th, at 7:00 p.m. in my weekly live stream of Conversations with the Pastor on the parish face book page on our website. These are some of the major directives: Those who are symptomatic or who have been exposed to another with the coronavirus within 14…

Dear Parishioners, Hopefully, Easter was a joyous time for all of you and you were able to watch our Easter Triduum Services and Easter Sunday Masses.  We are now in the Easter season and normally this would be a time of First Holy Communions and Confirmations.  Both of these sacraments will be scheduled at a later time.  The Archbishop has delegated me to confer the Sacrament of Confirmation upon our eighth graders when the time is appropriate. As difficult as it is, I am trying to maintain some sense of relative normalcy for our parish organizations, ministries and committees.  What…

For your information, the Archbishop has extended the dispensation of attending Sunday Mass through the end of April. In addition to that, our First Holy Communions, Confirmation and Graduation ceremony have been postponed until further notice.  I have been delegated to confer the Sacrament of Confirmation on our 8th graders…

Dear Parishioners, Now that we are in Holy Week, I will try to clarify when the church will be open and closed to the public. Our services for the Easter Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Vigil) will be at 7:30 p.m. each evening.  The doors of the church will be locked during these times.  We are restricted as to the number of people who can be in the church during these services.

The priests are still hearing confessions. Our confessional screens have been fitted with extra fiber and plastic. All confessions are to be behind the screen. I am allowing funerals and weddings at this time. But attendance is restricted to family members only and no more than 50 people present. An unfortunate consequence of the coronavirus is that our revenues have dropped significantly. Some of you are on Faith…

UPDATE, March 19, 2020 Dear Parishioners, Effective immediately, all Masses (daily and Sunday), Stations of the Cross, all group services, Bible Studies and activities are to cease. The Archbishop has dispensed all Catholics in our Archdiocese from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass through April 5th. Priests will continue to celebrate Masses without a congregation, but those Masses will include the assistance of at least one other adult minister if possible. The celebrations of weddings and funerals will be at the decision of the pastor.  The Archdiocese of St. Louis has recommended limiting attendance at these sacred events to immediate…
