I want to share with you an update regarding St. Bede Church. We will be applying for phase two next week (week of July 6), and if all goes well, we will begin having daily Masses at St. Bede Church starting on Monday, July 13. The daily Mass schedule will be the same as it was before the closure. Daily Mass at St. Bede will be at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday (no Thursday morning Mass at Bede). Also, the daily Mass schedule at St. Peter Church will go back to how it was before the closure. This means that there will not be a Friday morning Mass at St. Peter starting the week of July 13.
The weekend Masses at St. Bede will start on the weekend of July 18 and 19. The Mass schedule for the weekend will be: Saturday 5:30 p.m. (anticipation Mass), and Sunday at 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Please note that the 2:00 p.m. Mass will not be starting back up at this time.
Obviously, the reopening of our church will be a slow process. We will only be allowed to have 60 parishioners in the main body of the church, and twenty people (possibly 25) downstairs who can watch a live video feed.
I want to thank everyone for their patience and support during this difficult time. Again, this is the plan going forward, unless the Archdiocese denies our request to enter phase two (which I do not believe will happen).
