DURING LENT 

Please be aware of the following after Mass: • There will be no Recessional • After the St. Michael prayer, Father Preston will go straight into the confessional to hear confessions • All parishioners are asked to quietly leave the church, if not staying to pray, and to rather visit outside or in the narthex to keep a feeling of reverence inside the church
