FACE MASKS & CHILDREN UNDER 2 YEARS OLD

Children under 2 years old should not wear cloth face coverings because of suffocation risk. Hence, children under the age of two (2) can attend Mass WITHOUT wearing a face mask if they can stay six (6) feet away from other parishioners at all times, and do not have symptoms that can transmit the virus through the spray of spit or respiratory droplets. Children age 2 and older should wear cloth face coverings to attend Mass, as well as other liturgical celebrations and prayer services.

Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet while spending time with Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament - every Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. “At three o’clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy for the whole world. I will allow you to enter into My mortal sorrow. In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion…” (Diary, 1320).
