After three months of being shut down, we were slowly allowed to re-open our parishes. The re-opening has been quite a process, with many requirements and tasks to be completed, all aimed at keeping everyone safe and healthy. I want to thank the pastors, parish staff, as well as the many volunteers who have worked so diligently to follow the guidelines provided by the diocese. Many of you have started to return to your parishes to celebrate Mass with your fellow parishioners. If you have not returned yet, I hope that you will be able to find your way back soon, especially with the beginning of the vaccine rollout. Until that time comes, please continue to watch one of the many Sunday Masses that are available online within our diocese. I want to thank you for your continued support of your pastors and parishes during these difficult times. Working together, we will get through these challenges.
