In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and out of sensitivity to the health needs of the faithful, public Masses and services are temporarily suspended until further notice.

These inconveniences are both practical and perhaps lend an increased austerity to our Lenten observance.

O MOST mighty and merciful God, in this time of grievous sickness, we flee unto thee for succour. Deliver us, we beseech thee, from our peril; give strength and skill to all those who minister to the sick; prosper the means made use of for their cure; and grant that, perceiving how frail and uncertain our life is, we may apply our hearts unto that heavenly wisdom which leadeth to eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
