Dear Parishioners,
 
As you are aware, precautions are being taken regarding the COVID-19 virus. After consultation with Fr. Marty over the recommendations by the Archdiocese, we will implement the following plans at St. Michael’s and Sts. Cyril & Methodius parishes:
 

• All masses have been cancelled in both parishes effective 3/18/2020.  
• Lenten Reconciliation/Confession Circuit has been cancelled. Father will hear Confessions at St. Michael's in the Confessional Room on Tuesdays from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and on Wednesday and Thursdays in the Confessional Room from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.  Father will not be taking appointments for special confession times.
• Adoration (both parishes) and Wednesday night’s and Thursday morning Bible Study (St. Michael) have been cancelled until further notice.
• SPJST Nursing home communion service and mass have been suspended until further notice.  Also, Communion to the homebound has been cancelled.  If you have an emergency, please call the Parish Office.
• Stations of the Cross (both parishes) has been cancelled until further notice.  We are still waiting on word on the Knights of Columbus Fish Fry’s.  As for now, they are still on because they are Drive-Thru ONLY.  
• KC Monday night bingo at the Columbus Club Hall has been cancelled for March 23^rd.
• All Faith Formation Classes are cancelled until further notice. The students will need to be homeschooled. Lesson plans will be emailed to parents each week. For students in sacramental classes, you may pick up your book from the ushers table after mass. Please contact the parish office if you are NOT receiving emails.
• Lastly, the Confirmation II Retreat has been postponed.  The retreat will be held on church grounds and the youth will arrive and depart from the facility each day at specific times. Detailed Retreat information and the final decision on the date will be emailed to parents, printed in the bulletin and available online.

 
Please keep our parishioners and all people around the world in your prayers during this outbreak. Both parish offices will remain open during regular hours to answer any questions you may have.
 
Yours in Christ,
Rev. Marty Pham
