Update: All Church Events, Buildings & Offices Closed INDEFINITELY

Following along with Bishop Bambera's directive, Father Beck has decided to halt all Church Activites:     " ...the decision to maintain access to a parish Church remains a decision of the Pastor or the Parish Life Coordinator."

The following is the transcript from Father Beck's announcement during this morning's daily mass on the Livestream:

At this time I have a very very important announcement to make, to all of our parishioners and people in our area, at this time, it is my decision in consultation with our diocese and our bishop and those with my staff, we must close the church entirely, and even to private visits as they are called for prayer.



Therefore, that begins immediately. Signs on the door will be changed immediatley. Hopefully this message will reach all of you. This was a forgone conclusion for most of us,  the consultation with local and medical people, many of whom belong to our Parish, and also with the rest of the authorities and medical field with the state, it is now obvious we must do this.

The only ones you are going to see here are those that are absolutely neccessary for the celebration of the Masses even throughout Holy Week.  

As we proceed, and to deal with this effectively, the power of this virus is powerful none the less. We will do what we can and we will forecome.
