Good News! Glad Tidings! An Important Update!
-
Long expected, the work on the church interior begins SOON!
For some time now we've waited for the construction work on the interior of our church to begin. We've shared plans for long-overdue improvements to our lighting and sound systems. We're happy to announce that work will begin on Tuesday, September 8, 2020. The renovations are expected to go on through November.
What's the impact?
The good news is that every Friday, the contractors will restore the sanctuary for services, so our Sunday (and Saturday evening vigil) Masses will take place in the church as will any planned baptisms, weddings, and should they be needed, funerals. There may be missing pews or scaffolding from week to week, but we will worship our Sunday Masses in our church and livestream from there.
The other news is that we'll continue to celebrate daily Mass. It will be livestreamed from the Our Lady of Guadalupe Room. We ask your understanding and patience with these limitations.-
With classes resuming on campus on the 8th, there will be students in both Paulist and Hecker Halls.
-
To comply with CDC guidelines on safe distancing, we're only able to accommodate 12 persons in addition to the celebrant, the lector, and our camera operator.
-
Masks will be required and must be properly worn.
-
Please enter OLG through the courtyard and the patio door. The Guadalupe Street gate will be open.
-
The front door will not be available for use as our office doesn't open until 9 a.m.
What are the glad tidings?To quote Fr. Chuck:We'll celebrate Christmas in our renovated church interior!!! (He really used three exclamation points.)
