WE GATHER SAFELY WITH PRECAUTIONS AND EXPECTATIONS - Read Here

For safety and health reasons, the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis recommends that you continue to worship with us through online Masses if:

- You are older than 65
- You have underlying health conditions
- you are sick or have a fever or other COVID-19 symptoms
- you are COVID-19 positive or live with someone who is COVID-19 positive
- You feel uncertain about your safety if you come

It’s also important to know that the obligation to attend Sunday Mass and Holy Days of Obligation continues to be suspended as long as the pandemic continues. So a person continuing to shelter in place and not attend Mass remains a Catholic in good standing.

We are Cautious, We are Concerned, We are Prepared, We Rejoice! 

RESERVATIONS to In-Person SUNDAY Masses are Required

Act of Spiritual Communion ~ by Pope Francis

At Thy feet, O my Jesus, I prostrate myself and I offer Thee repentance
of my contrite heart, which is humbled in its nothingness
and in Thy holy presence. I adore Thee in the Sacrament of Thy love,
the ineffable Eucharist. I desire to receive Thee into the poor dwelling
that my heart offers Thee. While waiting for the happiness
of sacramental communion, I wish to possess Thee in spirit.
Come to me, O my Jesus, since I, for my part, am coming to Thee!
May Thy love embrace my whole being in life and in death.
I believe in Thee, I hope in Thee, I love Thee.
Amen..
