"...let us allow hope to be rekindled."

These words conclude Bishop McManus' letter lifting the suspension of all public liturgies as of May 18, 2020.  


There is, for sure, a certain joy we feel to come back again as a Sunday people and a praying community to our beautiful church at Saint Boniface.  There is also great anxiety that still exists knowing that we do not have a cure yet for this dreaded disease, and that it is still spreading.
 
As we welcome you back we must keep the following key rules in mind:

• Wear a face mask at all times (except to receive the Holy Communion)
• Maintain social distance (at least 6 feet apart)
• Use hand sanitizer when asked
• Lastly, but most importantly, if you feel sick, have been near someone who is sick, or feel uncomfortable, please do not come to Mass. The obligation to attend Sunday Mass and Holy Days of obligation is still lifted for all.

Below is a video that explains these precautions in more detail.  We strongly urge you to watch.  SELECT HERE for the guidelines specific to Saint Boniface.
 
Saint Boniface will open its doors on Saturday, May 30th, for the 4:00PM Mass and Sunday, May 31st, for 9:00AM Mass. We will maintain this as our summer Mass schedule.
As you may know, churches are permitted to allow attendance at 40% of capacity; therefore only 50 people may access our upper church.
 
Our weekday Mass schedule will resume on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 8:00AM beginning on June 3rd.
 
We pray that the Holy Spirit guides us on this new journey, for we are truly to become a new church.

Fr. Anthony
