Given the rapid increase of new, active COVID-19 cases over the past few weeks with no relief in sight, and after much prayer and consultation, I have once again decided to grant the Catholic faithful of the Diocese of Superior a general dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass. This dispensation will remain in force until further notice.
I want to make it perfectly clear that with the reinstating of the General Dispensation I am NOT issuing a closure of public Masses on Sundays or weekdays. We will continue to celebrate Mass with parishioners who are able to attend and willing to follow the proper health protocols which are in force and include the wearing of appropriate masks.

Fr. Bala is open to phone calls for conversation and prayers. We are encouraging all of our staff to reach out to our parish families via phone, Facebook, email and further invite ALL OF OUR PARISH family to do the same. Call a neighbor, pick up our directory and reach out to someone new. "Do small things with great love."
To maintain the safety of our employee's health and our parishioners, we are limiting access into the office area on an 'as needed' basis.
Employees will be present during normal hours, however doors are locked (must use doorbell) and it is kindly requested that all business be taken care of over the phone if possible still - minimizing the exposure to our staff. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
