4PM MASS RETURNING
AUGUST 9, 2020

The Saturday evening vigil Mass at Church of the Presentation will begin on August 9.  Because the seating capacity there with social distancing regulations is much larger than that of Saint Anthony Church, parishioners preferring an afternoon vigil Mass are encouraged to consider that option.  However, reservations will be necessary to ensure everyone can be accommodated.  Masks need to be worn and anyone with preexisting conditions is cautioned to come at their own risk since the pandemic continues.  That is why the obligation to attend continues to be suspended by Bishop Tobin.
 

PATIENCE DURING THE PANDEMIC

Complaints have been received because of violations to social distancing at Saint Anthony Church.  Unfortunately, zeal to give everyone a seat at Mass has trumped safety concerns on occasion with some parishioners put at risk when seated too close to others who are not related.  Patience is required on the part of everyone during these times.  Early arrival is necessary for those making a reservation since it is impossible to regulate those who come without first calling ahead. Of course, no one is obliged to take a seat where one does not feel safe.  We sincerely apologize to anyone who has been offended.
