Due to the mandate sent out by Bishop Stika, masks MUST be worn in order to attend mass.  If you do not have one, you will be provided one or you will not be allowed to enter.
 
Please, also note there is a table to pick up a ‘Breaking Bread’ book before Mass and a bin to return them to after Mass, so that they may be cleaned after each use. 

Thank you for your continued understanding.

While we are physically unable to gather in church for mass at this time, it doesn't mean that we can't bring mass into our home.  Here are some online options:

Sacred Heart Cathedral is live streaming masses or you can watch a previously recorded mass at  https://www.youtube.com/user/shcathedral

Here is a link to all parishes in the diocese that are live-streaming masses and times
https://dioknox.org/parish-masses-online/
 
www.thesundaymass.org is another website that broadcasts Mass for each Sunday brought to us by The Passionists.

Father Dave from a parish in NJ has a weekely Mass, and in his Mass he always does some teaching/explaining as to whats going on in the Mass at that moment.

Here is all the live streams or taped masses from parishes within our Diocese:

While Masses are suspended and we can't physically receive Communion, here is a Prayer -

An  Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.  Never permit me to be separated from You.  Amen.
 

Our very own organist, Kris Rucinski, and choir have recorded some inpirational music for us to listen to. Since we can't go to Mass to hear them, they have sent it to us via a YouTube video. Stay tuned as they will hopefully create more selections for us soon!!
