Current as of 2/20/2021:
Weekday Masses have successfully resumed at St. Paul, Monday-Friday at 8:00 AM and Wednesday evenings at 6:00PM. We are also holding Mass on at 8:00 AM on the first Friday and Saturday of each month. Please see the guidelines below on the precautions that are to be observed.
There will be no public Saturday Evening or Sunday Morning Masses at St. Paul while the Bishop's dispensation decree is in effect. The current decree is for an "indefinite" period of time.
We do not yet have a date for when weekend/Sunday Masses will resume.
"At St. Paul Parish I have chosen to not offer Sunday Mass as long as the dispensation is in effect. Instead, to further the requirement of social distancing at prayer, we have Mass each day, Monday through Friday. Following the Bishop's suggestion, we have a Mass in English at 6:00 PM on Wednesday. We will offer Mass at 8 AM on the First Saturday of each month, and in August there will be a Mass for the Solemnity of the Assumption on Saturday, August 15th. "
