In light of the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling, we will continue to follow the guidelines Bishop Powers has established for the Diocese of Superior. 

• We strongly encourage people to wear masks at Mass
• Hand sanitizers are available at all church entrances
• Maintain 6 ft. distancing between families
• We continue to use every other pew to help with distancing

Please read this letter about reopening our churches for live Masses starting the weekend of June 6th and 7th, 2020. We are instituting a number of new practices and Mass may look very different. May this time become a rich opportunity for all of us to become kinder, more caring and gentler with one another.  We are in this together; may we work together for the common good of all.
