Dear Parishioners,
We hope you have enjoyed some time to relax and recharge during these summer months! It has been an unusual summer for sure. We miss having our parish family all together, but know that we are together in spirit.
After discussing the results from the Pastoral Survey that was sent out a couple weeks ago, the parish staff has decided to make a couple changes regarding weekend Masses and Thursday morning daily Mass.
We are going back to live-streaming the 4:00 pm Saturday Mass on our Nativity of Mary Parish Facebook page. Whether you have a Facebook account or not, this can be accessed at https://www.facebook.com/
We will no longer be requiring parishioners to pre-register their attendance for Mass. We are not seeing the numbers at Mass that we originally thought we would see and there is plenty of room for social distancing. Mass attendance has averaged approximately 50 people. If there were a positive case of the virus in our community, we will inform all registered parishioners. If someone is not a registered member of the parish, we will ask them to sign in at the door so that we can also contact them in the event that someone were to contract the virus, which we pray never happens!
Beginning Thursday, August 27, 2020 the school children will be attending Mass on Thursdays. Due to the number of students and social distancing guidelines, we have a limited capacity for parishioners and school family members. Please read the attached letter for instructions on attending Thursday children's Mass if you wish to do so.
We are also in the midst of planning virtual fall events and prayer opportunities. Much more information to come. Please stay connected through our website www.nativityofmary.org and specifically the Church home page on the website.
Sending continued blessings,
Nativity of Mary Parish Staff
