Face Masks at Mass

Masks continue to be required at all events at MMOC. We invite you to review Bishop Callahan's letter of March 31 regarding wearing face masks. We've been delighted to see our brothers and sisters returning to Mass the last couple of weeks. It is important to us to provide a safe environment for worship. We thank everyone for cooperating.

Please Let Us Know When Someone is in Hospital

When you or someone you love is in hospital, we would visit you, pray with you, and bring you the sacraments. However, due to regulations, hospitals will not inform us when one of our parish family is in care. Please ask someone to call us at 788-5483, ext. 2. Thank you.
