Things to note before deciding if you should attend:

  • We will be limited to approximately 50 cars – parishioners will remain in their cars during Mass. We will be asking everyone attending to register ahead of time
  • If you are sick, have a fever, cough or have a compromised immune system, for your safety and that of others you should stay home
If attending please register by Friday, May 29th by noon.  
Before you leave home Sunday – please bring:
  • A mask for each person in your car who will be receiving Communion
  • Hand sanitizer to use before and after receiving Communion

Arriving at St. Mary’s on Sunday:
  • Parking lot will open at 8:30 am
  • All cars will enter the lot off Jordan St (entrance next to the parish center)
  • Ushers will direct you to a row, you will pull all the way forward
  • If you have registered as handicapped parking, you will enter from Austin St.
During Mass:
  • All parishioners will remain in their vehicles
  • No collection will be taken. You may mail offerings to the office
  • We will do our best with a sound system so you will be able to hear. We appreciate your patience with this
Communion :
  • Ushers will direct parishioners when to stand next to their car for Communion. Please do not leave your car until directed to
  • Before leaving your car please use hand sanitizer and put on your mask covering your nose and mouth
  • When directed by the usher to leave your car please, stand next to the car on the driver’s side
  • Fr Dunn or a Lay Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist will approach. Leave your mask on. Once you have received the Body of Christ in your hand wait until Fr Dunn or the Lay Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist moves at least 6’ away. Then lower your mask and consume the Body of Christ and return to your car for meditation.

We appreciate your patience, prayers and sense of humor as we navigate new ways to come together and celebrate the Good News. God Bless!

A message from the Campaign Against Hunger:  To all our Parishioners from the CAH ministry:  At a time when our food pantries are experiencing great demand, we have not been able to collect donations to send.  We are asking those of you who have continually supported the CAH mission to donate now, if you can.  We will make sure all money received is sent where the needs are greatest.  All donations can be sent to St. Mary's with a request that it be used for the Campaign Against Hunger.  Thank you for your generosity!  
Alleluia!
​Happy Easter
