Please take a few minutes to listen to parishioner Dr. Don Malone from the Cleveland Clinic as he provides a medical perspective on the opening up of church practices and events. He discusses many ways we are beginning to re-open parish life and welcome everyone back to in-person masses. Below you will also find a timeline for when changes were and are being made regarding procedures during the mass and around our campus. We thank Dr. Malone for his thoughtful guidance as we continue to make this a safe and prayerful place for all to worship our loving God.
