Returning Our Focus to In-Person Celebration
As of July 1, our Family of Parishes no longer offers a livestream of Mass. Livestreaming was introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic as a necessary way to stay connected when gathering in person was not possible. We are grateful for the ways it helped many remain united in prayer during that time. As we move forward, we are returning our focus to fully supporting the in-person celebration of the Mass.
Providing a livestream is not only a financial commitment, but also requires the attention of key staff and volunteers whose primary focus should be on the prayerful and reverent celebration of the liturgy itself. After careful consideration, this change allows us to best steward our resources and serve our parish community.
Watching Mass online does not fulfill the Sunday obligation. The Church calls us to gather together in person whenever we are able, to receive the Eucharist and to be part of the living community of faith.
For those who are truly unable to attend Mass due to illness or other serious reasons, there are still opportunities to participate in a livestreamed Mass. Please call the parish office to coordinate Communion.
