Parish Re-Opening/Weekly Mass
Welcome Home! We're excited to worship together. At this time, we are allowed a maximum of 75 parishioners at Mass, with appropriate distance at all times, masks for all, and sanitation precautions in all areas. We have three Mass times: Saturday at 5:00 pm, and Sunday at 7:30 am and 9:30 am, all in St. Norbert Church. During LENT, we have added a 5:00 pm Mass on Sunday evening. (through March 28) We LiveStream and Record 5:00 pm Saturday Mass, so you can always watch from home, if you are unable to join us. The obligation to attend Mass remains suspended indefinitely for everyone. Each person is free to decide what is best and safest for you and your family.
PLEASE NOTE: NEW! Communion in Your Car
We have begun offering Communion in your car for those who are uncomfortable attending Mass in church. It is available after Saturday 5:00 pm and 9:30 am Masses, in the school parking lot. Please line up at 6:00 pm and at 10:30 am and remain in your car.
The best way to keep up with changes is to subscribe to our Enews. We publish changes as we adapt and adjust our procedures and our Mass offerings. (Not receiving the E-news? Sign up HERE. ) We have a Link to SignUpGenius. Each member of your family who plans to attend weekend Mass must be counted in SignUpGenius, so that we can have an accurate total. We also need to know who is present, on the chance that we need to 'contact trace' in the future, and notify parishioners of any risk. We ask that you arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of Mass, as the seating procedure takes some time. Entrance is only through the Main Front doors of St. Norbert Church. Please watch the short video below we have prepared for our parishioners. You may recognize some masked faces!
