Please join us in for our celebration of Mass.
As CDC Guidelines relax, we have updated our protocols.
  • All Covid-19 positive persons, those who are symptomatic, and those living with them must stay home.
  • SS Peter and Paul is strongly recommending that masks be worn inside our church for the protection of those with health concerns and those who live with them.
  • We are no longer utilizing registration or sign-ins for Mass and all entrances are open.
  • We have opened more pews for seating, for the safety of the vulnerable and those living with them, we have designated 4 pews in the back at a social distance. Please be respectful and leave those seats for those who truly wish to remain distant for their health and of their loved ones.
  • Holy Water will be returning to our Holy Water Fonts in church and the Baptismal Font.
  • Communion lines will continue to process up the outside isles.
  • We can now sing throughout Mass, so please join in with our choir.
  • We will keep our collection baskets at our main entrance and exit areas for you to drop your contributions in.
We would like to resume our coffee after Mass in July, this will rely on volunteers signing up for dates to host coffee. There will be a sign-up sheet in the back of church for you to indicate the days you are able to help with that. 
 
Thank You for your continued Faithfulness and diligence this past year, please help us spread the word.
