Brothers and Sisters in Christ,  

In the wake of the rising cases of COVID throughout our Diocese, Bishop Ricken has reinstated the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass.  Bishop announced the dispensation in a decree on Monday, October 5; it takes effect immediately, and will remain in effect until further notice. 

We will continue to celebrate Mass for those who are able to attend and are willing to follow our current health protocols. 

Our Mass and Confession schedule - including communion services and live streaming - will continue as they have been.   Find the full schedule of radio, livestream, and TV Masses here.

The dispensation from the Sunday obligation is necessary at this time to protect all in our community when COVID cases are skyrocketing.  I am grateful to Bishop Ricken and his prayerful discernment and flexible leadership as he cares for the people of God in our Diocese.    At the same time, I am sensitive to the spiritual challenges which come from a prolonged time away from the Mass.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be celebrated in the confessional in the side chapel at St. Peter.

The confessional will be set up so that you and Father are 6 feet apart at all times whether behind the screen or face to face. Sanitation procedures will also be followed. Please wear a mask.
