OUTDOOR CONFESSIONS Outdoor Confessions will be heard each Saturday from 3:00-4:00pm.  You have the option of driving up or walking up to the priests, keeping the safe distance between each of you.  They are held in the driveway outside the main entrance of the church, in front of the Blessed Mother Statue and garden. SUNDAY MORNING MASS, JULY 12, 2020 We will have the time and location (outdoor or indoor) of this coming Sunday, July 12 Mass later this week.  We have been blessed for the past 6 weeks with beautiful days, but as of now (Tuesday as I write this), this weekend looks rainy.  We are in New England and as we all know, that can change very quickly.  Stay tuned....
