St. Anthony of Padua

Gradual reopening of our Church

The Archdiocese has issued guidelines on how Churches will reopen.  It is currently planned in 3 phases.  Phase 1 started May 17, 2020.  Dates for Phases 2 and 3 will be announced at a later date:

​

Phase 1: Churches will first be opened for personal prayer only. Individuals and families can come to church for quiet prayer, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation may be celebrated if social distancing can be maintained and masks are worn.

​

Phase 2:  Following Phase 1, churches will be permitted to celebrate public weekday Masses and funerals with very specific restrictions, such as the strict practice of social distancing, use of masks and limited number of people present.

​

Phase 3. Following Phase  2, churches will be permitted to celebrate Sunday Mass publicly with the obligatory practice of social distancing, use of masks and limited number of people present. All other sacraments will resume according to the directives during   Phase 3.

Remember to say Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, came at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
