Despite positive trends and widespread vaccinations, the coronavirus pandemic is not yet over. Archbishop Schnurr has announced that the dispensation from the Sunday Mass obligation will remain in place at least for now to not unduly burden the consciences of those who have serious health concerns, either for themselves or for someone in their immediate care. To read his entire letter please visit www.catholicaoc.org.
Here at St. Max we are excited to see more people returning to Mass. If this is your first time here in a while, welcome back! For those of you who have not yet returned, we wholeheartedly look forward to worshipping with you in person again soon.
Perhaps this information could help you:
If you have any questions about how St. Max is continuing to follow safety protocols during this time, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Until you are ready to return in person, we embrace this opportunity to celebrate Mass with you virtually. Remember, everyone is dispensed from their obligation at this time. Keep participating in our liturgies online at www.saint-max.org/StreamSpot, Facebook LIVE or YouTube LIVE. There is always an accompanying worship aid available online for Sunday Masses and other special feast days!
Now that our liturgies are once again open to the public, we have returned to our regular Mass and confession schedule.
