Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we ask everyone to pre-register for all Masses, including funerals. As with all other public liturgies right now, we require everyone age 10 and up to bring a face covering and wear it all times. Social distancing will be observed, and everyone must answer COVID-19 screening questions before coming into the building.
