In Case of Inclement Weather…
Winter weather has finally arrived, and we want to remind everyone that Mass in Church will not be cancelled for weather emergencies since Fr. Matt and Fr. Ravi are always nearby. However, we do not want anyone to put themselves or their family at risk to fulfill a ministerial assignment or to attend Mass. When travel is not safe, all are excused from the obligation to attend Mass. We will celebrate Mass with whatever ministers and people attend.
