Throughout our lockdown period, we’ve chosen to keep the church closed for safety/security.  This is really not so different from our normal procedures since we can’t have someone watching the space all the time, guarding it against vandalism… and now we have the added requirement of maintaining appropriate social distance.

However, as I’ve been calling parishioners, we've received a very specific request from several: that we open the church for some time on Good Friday specifically.

Good Friday we will open the church from 5pm-6pm for silent prayer so that the faithful can come and venerate the Cross from a distance. We require those present maintain 6’ distance apart. To prevent clusters of people forming at the main doors, entrance will be through the side doors at the front of the church (entrance through the south door, exit through the north). There is plenty of street parking so the lot will NOT be open, again to prevent the possibility of clusters of people forming on church grounds.
