Daily Mass/Communion Service Cancellation Policy—As inclement weather approaches, please note that the 7:30am daily Mass/Communion Service may be cancelled due to hazardous snow or ice conditions. A decision will be made in the early morning. If you would like to be notified through email of a cancellation, please send your request to the parish email address. Also, Mass will automatically be cancelled if there is a cancellation or delayed opening of the Fairfield School System as announced on local radio and television stations. The intention for a cancelled Mass will be rescheduled..
A reminder about receiving Communion—If you are not feeling well or suffering from any flu-like symptoms, please refrain from receiving the Eucharist from the cup and consider receiving the Host in your hand, if you do not already do so. This is good health practice year-round and not only during the winter months. Please be assured that those who distrib-ute the Eucharist in our parish follow the safety regulations recommended by the Center for Disease Control. For your convenience, bottles of hand sanitizer are located at all entrances to the church. Let’s keep flu and cold germs at bay.
