11:00 AM MASS REGISTRATION (November 29, 2020)

Mass registration for Sunday, November 29 is now closed.
Please note that on some Mondays our Masses fill up in a matter of minutes, particularly the 9:00 AM Mass. We have a large volume of people all trying to get through at the same time, which means some get through and others don't. If you do not receive an auto reply voucher, it means you did not get through. We have a very limited number of seats and are not allowed to exceed that number, especially as the cases of COVID-19 have begun to surge again. We appologize for any inconvenience.
Please be prompt in arriving for Mass. Otherwise, once Mass begins your seat(s) may be given to someone without a voucher.
