In extreme cases, a decision will be made by 7:00 am and will be announced on social media and our website.

Weekend Masses are rarely cancelled due to weather. The safety of our parishioners is of utmost importance, and we strongly encourage you to exercise good judgement before setting out. The obligation to attend Mass is relieved if you cannot attend due to bad weather. In the event that Mass is cancelled, all other activities and events scheduled for that day will be cancelled.
If inclement weather occurs on days when non-regularly scheduled events/liturgies are scheduled (weddings, funerals, baptisms), the presider or delegated staff member will work with the family to make a decision.
