Time is Running Out!

Proper social distancing measures have led us to make a significant change with regard to attendance. This year, you will have to sign up for Mass.

How do I sign up for the Mass I want?

Click HERE to find the sign-up link. You must sign up with a cell phone number or an email address. Registrations with a land line will not be confirmed. When you get to Mass, the porters will have a list of everyone who registered and you will be seated in your chosen location. Unfortunately, you cannot pick your seat.

If you’d rather stop in or call the office at 651-437-4254 to sign up, please do. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with this new system.
