COVID-19 Update
We are no longer requiring proof of vaccination for in-person gatherings, and facemasks, while welcome and encouraged, are not mandatory. In the days and weeks ahead, let’s continue to care for and respect one another as we allow for new approaches. And, as always, let’s be ready to adjust if the conditions change.
If you have any questions, please contact one of our Wardens (Nancy – 647-0144; Blair – 434-2475; Marshall – 433-4517) or Fr. Sean (434-4684). Many blessings everyone.
