Dear Parishioners,

Although we are so pleased to gather once again at public Masses at Maternity of Mary, we continue to stress the importance of safety and respect for one another.

As a reminder, those 65 years of age or older, especially if you have an underlying health condition, are strongly encouraged not to attend and view Mass view LiveStream.

We will continue with the following safety procedures:

Seating in the pews should be limited to groupings of the same family, and three pews between non-related groups. Pews are marked accordingly.

Personal face masks must be worn, you should provide your own if you have them.  There will be disposable masks at doors 2 if you need them.

Hand sanitizer will be available at the entrances to the church, doors 2 and 3, but you are encouraged to bring your own.

Communion will be distributed during Mass, please follow the directional floor markings when coming up to receive and returning to your pew.

Once Mass is finished, please do not socialize inside. If you wish to, please do so outside and at an appropriate distance from each other. This will also allow the timely sanitizing of indoor surfaces before the following Mass.

Individual Sacrament of Reconciliation will continue to be available in the open air on Saturday afternoons between 3:00-4:00 pm, at Sirba Hall door 5.

Our Parish Office summer phone hours are 8:30 am - 2:30 pm Monday-Thursday.  To ensure safety and protect the health of our parishioners and staff, in-person meetings and ministry will be done by appointment only, call during our scheduled office hours to set up an appointment.  The office will not be open to the public during our office hours.  I encourage you to reach the staff by email  Staff email addresses here.

Any Pastoral Emergency calls will be responded to immediately, 651-489-8825.

Thank you for your continued financial support of our Parish, allowing us to continue to pay our bills, staff, and to maintain the buildings.

Please keep each other in prayer, and reach out safely to one another if you know of someone who may have need, or may simply be on their own and suffer from their isolation.

In Christ,
Fr. Cloutier
