We have had several people inquire regarding having Masses this weekend. About an hour ago we received notification from the Office of the Bishop of San Diego that we will be permitted to resume with the celebration of public Masses on Sunday, June 14th. This will allow many parishes such as ours to make the necessary preparations for opening up, including sanitizing the church completely, ensure that we have enough supplies in stock to sanitize the church daily and provide sanitizing stations for all those coming into the Church. While this will be the first public Sunday Mass, we will be able to have daily Mass as of Monday, June 8th. In the next few days we will be communicate with our entire parish community the steps necessary we will all have to take as we gather to celebrate the Eucharist. Please know that we are very grateful to you for your patience and understanding during these difficult times.
