Saturday Mass Returns

Over the past several years, on-going discussions have been held regarding the scheduled time of the Saturday evening vigil Mass. In preparation for the full reopening of churches, after much discussion and consultation, and given the number of volunteers, the decision has been made to begin offering a Saturday Mass at 4:00pm next Saturday, June 26, on a trial basis.
