Bishop Kagan has decreed that public Masses will resume on Wednesday, May 6th, with appropriate precautions.  The list of precautions is available on the Diocese of Bismarck website.  You can access that information by clicking here.  Please read them prior to coming to Mass.

It is important to note that the obligation to attend Sunday Mass has not been reinstated.  If you do not feel comfortable attending Mass yet, you have no obligation to do so.  During this time, Masses will continue to be available live on YouTube and the parish website.  The Saturday morning Masses will no longer be offered, but a Sunday Vigil Mass will be offered on Saturdays at 5:00 p.m., as was our custom previously.

If you are sick at all, even if you’re only sneezing or coughing because of allergies, please do not enter the churches.  Such a  person may not have COVID-19, but their coughing will certainly cause anxiety to others. 

It’s also important to note that, while public access to Mass is resuming, our bishop has not yet lifted the prohibition of other activities such as classes or public devotions, including Eucharistic Adoration.  That said, anyone is welcome to come and pray privately in our churches during the day.
