There will be one Mass at 9:00AM with Fr. Moudry which will be ASL interpreted. Word and Communion services, also ASL interpreted, will continue at 11:00AM for those who would like a smaller group or a later time.
The obligation to attend Mass in our Archdiocese, both for Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation including Christmas and New Year's Day, continue to be suspended during the pandemic. Your health and safety in our worship environment continues to be our top priority.
The dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass continues. The faithful are asked to find a Mass on TV, the radio or online and make a Spiritual Communion. Where that is not an option, it would be appropriate to pray the Liturgy of the Hours or the Rosary.

I invite you to consider the upcoming “fast” from the Eucharist as a way to draw ever closer to our Lord, especially as we experience a more intense longing for Jesus, present in the Eucharist. During this time of Eucharistic fasting, I would encourage each of us to offer intercessory prayer each day for the health and safety of our community, especially healthcare workers, and to join in solidarity with the many Catholics throughout the world who regularly are unable to receive communion, due to persecution or to an absence of priests.
Please continue to pray for those who have died from COVID-19/coronavirus, those who mourn them, those who are sick and the many who care for them. I ask you to keep in your prayers, as well, Governor Tim Walz and Commissioner Jan Malcom from the Minnesota Department of Health, and all public servants working to keep our communities safe.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord. - Luke 4:18-19
