Update on Public Masses & Call for Volunteers: Dear Parishioners and members of our Faith community, We are happy to inform you that Sunday morning Masses are proceeding well. We are averaging about 40 people each Sunday which is very close to our capacity. Thanks to a small dedicated and committed crew of volunteers we are able to greet and screen parishioners, provide helpful usher services that keep everyone safe while practicing physical distancing and keep the church cle...an for all visitors. We have heard from many of you that you would like to see Saturday Mass resume. While we are also eager to see this Mass proceed, we need volunteers. As our Sunday experience has demonstrated we need volunteers to: -screen parishioners before they enter the church, -ushers to show people to their seats, organize movement for communion and assist with exiting after Masses -people who will clean the parish after Mass Before we can offer Saturday Mass we require a minimum of 7 people for each Mass, and to ensure that volunteers are not overworked we need at least 14 - 21 people to volunteer for Saturdays. Our ability to offer Saturday Mass is in your hands. If you want to attend Mass on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. please call the Parish Office at 705-674-6447 to confirm your availability as a volunteer. God Bless
