To help limited the possibility of spreading the coronavirus we are limited as to the number of people present at our Masses. The maximum number of people allowed is 33% of the church’s seating capacity. The churches are being cleaned and disinfected after each Mass. There are also other precautions that have been implemented to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Please read the letters below.
Mass Online: We have had trouble getting out Mass online recently. If Mass is not posted on our Facebook page or on our website, here are links to other online Masses as well as on the diocesan website: dor.org

In the past weeks we've visited most of our families with children who have registered for this year's G.I.F.T. program to deliver Faith Formation Resources and at home rituals. At home rituals and resources for the rest of the adults registered in this year's G.I.F.T. program will be available in the back of our churches next weekend and at the in person gatherings.
We are very excited to begin this new faith formation year. If you are attending the in person gatherings and have not yet selected the grouping or pod you want to be in please do so this week.
