Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Resumpt ion of Dai ly Mass

This week we will resume daily Mass from Tuesday to Saturday at 7:00AM.

The daily mass will take place in the CHURCH—NOT in the Chapel to to

assist with social distancing.. Everyone is invited to come, pray and partici-

pate in the Eucharistic celebration. The church will be sanitized according

to diocesan guidelines after each mass.

- Face Masks are required for everyone while attending Mass.

-Hand sanitizer will be provided and placed at the entrance of the Church.

- Seat spacing will be already marked, so please observe the guidelines.

I look forward to meeting you at Mass

Please be safe and considerate of your health as well as the safety and health of others. Do not attend mass if you feel sick or think you may have been exposed to someone who is sick. Because the dispensation from the Sunday obli-gation is still in effect many churches will continue to live-stream at least one weekend Mass, and spiritual communion will be encouraged for those who are vulnerable due to age and/or ex-isting health conditions You may watch Mass services on EWTN (#370 on Direct TV, AT&T Uverse - #562 and Vicksburg Video - #20), St. Michael’s, St. Paul’s and St. Jude’s (Pearl) Facebook pages.
