New Update: In-Person Mass

Updated: October 25, 2020

Both Alameda County and Bishop Barber have approved indoor public worship (with restrictions) to resume, beginning Friday, October 23rd. Therefore:

SATURDAY VIGIL MASS

Saturday's Vigil Mass will be held at 5:00 PM inside the church. Communion for attendees will be distributed at the proper time during Mass. 

  • Safety precautions - including social distancing and the wearing of masks - continue to be observed.

  • Please make your reservations at least 24 hours in advance.

  • Arrive by 4:45 PM in order to check-in and find a seat before Mass begins.

SUNDAY MASS

Sunday's 9:30 AM Mass will also be held in the church, and - in order to keep the west windows open for fresh air - we will not host a viewing of the live video on the west lawn. Communion for attendees will be distributed at the proper time during Mass. 

  • Safety precautions - including social distancing and the wearing of masks - continue to be observed.

  • Please make your reservations at least 24 hours in advance. 

  • Arrive by 9:15 AM, in order to check-in and find a seat before Mass begins.

SUNDAY IN-PERSON COMMUNION

Communion after Sunday's Mass continues to be held for those who do not feel comfortable participating in the Mass.

  • Arrive for Communion between 10:45-11:30 AM.

Note: COVID-19 is still spreading and is particularly dangerous for the elderly and for those with ongoing health issues. As before, you are dispensed from your obligation to attend Mass in person, and you are always welcome to participate by viewing our weekday and Sunday live Mass videos here.
