As regards to Mass attendance, the numbers continue to be stable, however, they remain low and since the Faithful are still not under the obligation to assist at Holy Mass, it seems reasonable to combine the 7 a.m. & 9 a.m. Sunday Masses & split the difference by having an 8 a.m. Mass. *This new 8 a.m. Sunday Mass will take effect on the 2nd of August, and will remain in effect thru the pandemic’s end.*

Of course, there will be inconveniences and everybody has their favorite times for their particular reasons (including your pastor). The fall-out from the pandemic has negatively impacted us in so many ways. Let’s not allow this to be a negative experience. Hope and pray, dear people, that once the strife is o’er we might return to our regular schedule.
