REMINDERS FOR ATTENDING MASS:
Please remember to arrive at least 5 minutes early to Mass so you can be seated before Mass begins. Also, we ask that you keep getting up and moving around during Mass to a minimum, no one should be standing in the Vestibule unless you need to take your child out of the Church and please do not leave before Mass has ended.
Monsignor is offering Mass every morning at 8am, Monday through Friday. This will be streamed live on Facebook. You can also watch it live on our website below. We will still keep our Tuesday and Thursday evening Masses. If you choose not to come to in-person Mass you are still dispensed from the Sunday obligation.
If you are sick or someone in your family is sick, please do not come to Mass, you are dispensed from attending. If you are high risk or live with someone who is high risk, please consider not coming to Mass, you are dispensed from attending.
We appreciate your continued patience, kindness and support during this time.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. The following fasting and abstinence regulations are observed.
Abstinence from meat is observed on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all other Fridays of Lent by all Catholics 14 years of age and older. All Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59 years of age observe fasting on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Those bound by this rule may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted as necessary to maintain strength according to one’s needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted.
On Tuesday and Thursday evenings during Lent we will continue to have Mass at 6:00pm in the Church.
On Friday’s during Lent we will have the Stations of the Cross at 6:00pm.
Confessions will be heard during Stations.

The St Paul Knights of Columbus will be offering take out Fish Dinners, including both varieties of Clam Chowder. The dates are the 4 Fridays in March, 5,12,19 and 26. The meals will be available from 5:00-6:45 PM. This evolution of the traditional Fish Dinner will have a COVID-19 twist: two pieces of fried fish, tater tots and coleslaw, $5.00. A 16 ounce container of either chowder, $3.00. It is hoped that parishioners will consider supporting this effort as they have the Breakfast Burritos event. The Council understands this is not ideal as the traditional in house Fish Dinners foster important fellowship which is certainly missing due to COVID considerations. Just remember that all of the proceeds from the dinners go to support Pro-Life initiatives.
Saturday: 4:00-4:45pm or anytime by appointment.
