Limited Public Masses to Resume on Tuesday

Fr. Peter Richards officially announced today that limited public Masses will resume on Tuesday, May 26. Check out the latest Priests In Shorts video from Fr. Richards and Fr. Joe below. Then, take time to read Fr. Richards's letter to parishioners explaining what to expect in terms of safety protocols and, if you haven’t already, read the letter from Minnesota’s bishops permitting a return to limited public worship. Both letters are posted on our parish homepage, stmcatholicchurch.org.

Confessions to Move Back Indoors Saturday

Beginning Saturday morning, Confessions will move back into the church. They will be held in the area where people usually wait to go to Confession to allow for both privacy and social distancing. The line for confession will be near the statuary apse. Please maintain at least six feet between you and others while waiting in line.

Scammers Posing as Priests

Parishioners are again receiving messages that appear to be from our priests, asking for gift-card donations. Please note that our clergy and staff members will never ask you for money or gift cards by text or email. Do not respond to these messages, and please spread the word!
