St. Paul's at Home

August 11, 2020

Dear Parish Family,

It is with great joy that I announce the return to Sunday Masses inside the church this weekend, August 15^th. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all who continue to volunteer their time at the liturgies to help make Mass on the Grass prayerful, reverent, and safe.

Over the past several weeks, the attendance at daily Mass, as well as the weekend Masses, has been most encouraging. I give thanks to God for the opportunity to hear you respond in person and participate in the liturgy, something that I missed deeply while our only opportunity to celebrate the liturgy was through an iPad in the daily Mass chapel.

I encourage you to please continue to keep holy the Sabbath. Whether you choose to worship with us in spirit from home, online, in-person on the grass, or inside the church, please continue to pray for those members of our parish family who have been affected by this pandemic. The dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains in effect until further notice. 

We are blessed to welcome a number of new families to our parish over the past few months, and I hope that when you see them, you too can extend a warm welcome to these new members of our parish family. If you know someone who has been away from the church for a while or is looking for a parish family to call home, please invite them to the altar at St. Paul’s.

May God continue to shine his light upon our parish, and may the joy that I see in your faces at Mass be the one thing that spreads, infecting every heart with the love of Jesus Christ.


In Christ,
