St. Mary of the Visitation |
Welcome Back!- We joyfully invite all Catholics back to in-person participation in the sacraments and the life of the parish. We continue to hold in prayer those to whom this pandemic has caused significant hardship, especially those who have died. Although the Covid-19 dispensation is no longer in effect, the general teaching of the Church remains; that is, a serious reason excuses one from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass. Anyone for whom attending Sunday Mass would pose a serious health rish (including anyone who is positive for Covid-19 or needs to isolate because of Covid-19 symptoms) is excused from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass. We ask that we continue to supprt one another in Christian charity, knowing that, for good reason, some will continue to observe precautions for their own health and the health of their families. We are called to be sensitive to and respectful of one another. Brothers and Sisters,

Liturgy of the Hours-"Praying the Breviary""Seven times a day I praise you, because your judgments are righteous." PS 119:164“From ancient times the Church has had the custom of celebrating each day the liturgy of the hours.
