Non-Catholics are puzzled why Catholics are distressed because some Dioceses have canceled the Holy Mass to protect the parishioners as well as the priests and laypeople who work in service of the diocese. As explained by one priest to me, if you knew what happens during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, you would never want to miss it either. What does this priest and some Catholics know, that we don't? View a short film, "The Veil Removed," and see what happens during the Mass behind the veil. Click the title.
All Masses and activities are canceled until further notice, effective immediately. This means the Lenten mission is canceled. The Fish Fry date change will be determined at a later date. Please share with your individual Facebook pages to get the word out to the community. For now, the office will remain open. You can also check out https://www.archdiosf.org/covid-2019 for additional information on TV Masses and other resources.
