Alpha Online is a series of sessions offering the opportunity for informal discussion of questions of life and faith with friends from the comfort of your home using Zoom. A video presentation each week explores basic questions of Christian faith, life and meaning providing a framework for small break-out group discussions that encourage informal exchange of perspectives and questions in a respectful, friendly, and non-judgmental spirit. Join us on Wednesday, September 23 at 7:00 pm. When you like what you see, you can come back each Wednesday (except Thanksgiving week) through December 9.  Each session begins at 7 and concludes by 8:30 pm.

Participation is free, but registration is required. Register here.

Brothers & Sisters:

Public Sunday Masses have begun following the current guidelines for social distancing (see below). Sunday Masses will be 4 p.m. Saturday at Saint Teresa; 8 a.m. Sunday at the Church of the Nativity; 10 a.m. and 12 noon at Saint Teresa. We'll begin with this schedule and make adjustments as the circumstances (attendance and enough volunteers) suggests. Registration is a necessity, so please register for a weekend Mass at the Weekend Mass Sign Up link further below.

CURRENT GUIDELINES

According to the current guidelines, Masses indoors can be at 25% capacity or 100 persons, whichever is less, socially distanced people. Saint Teresa can accommodate 26 people and the Church of the Nativity 45. Those attending are required: 1.) to wear a mask/face covering over your nose and mouth for the entire Mass, 2.) to bring your own hand sanitizer, 3.) to remain 6 feet apart from anyone who is not a member of your household and 4.) to observe any other required precautions. Pleased be advised there may not be sufficient room at any given Mass for all who wish to attend. You may not be able to sit in your accustomed pew or attend Mass at the time or place you wish. Your understanding and cooperation is appreciated. Thank you.

WHO SHOULD STILL REMAIN HOME

The elderly, those with pre-existing conditions, those who are fearful or anxious, those who are taking care of a sick or homebound person, and those who cannot wear a mask for the duration of Mass should consider taking advantage of watching Mass safely at home on television or  with our live streaming through our parish website (see above).

Each person is responsible to determine whether he or she should attend, but you are not under the obligation to attend Mass. The dispensation from the Sunday obligation is granted to all Catholics of the archdiocese by the Archbishop through Sunday, November 28, 2020.
