IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Picture
Picture
Beginning Easter Sunday, April 17, 2022, Bishop Zarama has lifted the dispensation that has been in place for the Mass obligation for Sundays and Holy Days for the faithful in the Diocese of Raleigh. 
For centuries, the Catholic Church has had in place an obligation for Catholics to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days. Importantly, the Church specifies that the elderly, sick, those with pre-existing health conditions or other vulnerable people are always dispensed from this Mass obligation. In some instances, the bishop or pastor may “lift the obligation” among the faithful. This may occur during severe weather, for instance. Most recently, this has been the case during the COVID pandemic. 
As so many of the faithful gather for Easter Masses, Bishop Luis offers this reminder that the obligation to attend Mass is also an invitation to return to our churches and renew ourselves in receiving God’s love through the Eucharist.
 “The doors of our churches are wide open,” said Bishop Luis. “Now let us open our hearts, embracing each other in community and fully embracing the gift of God’s love with an open and joyful heart.

Inclement Weather Policy

In order to help ensure the safety of our Parishioners, the Church and other facilities will be closed and religious education, groups, committees and clubs will not meet or use Parish facilities and grounds under the following conditions:
  • When Cumberland County is under eminent  threat of a Tropical Storm or Hurricane. 
    • The most common cause of death in our area from these storms is from people trying to drive through flooded areas.  As the rain is falling, please stay home.  When it clears, stay out of the flooded areas on roads and bridges!  We want to see you safe!
  • If there is a threat of ice on the roads or roads are covered with ice and/or snow.
    • Cumberland County lacks the ability to clear snow and ice from secondary roads and neighborhood streets.  Please stay home until it melts.  It usually won’t last more than 48 hours.
  • Electricity is out at the Church
    • We will notify you if there is a power outage at the Church through Social Media, the Parish app and Flocknote.  
  • The governor declares a state of emergency asking people to stay home in Cumberland County.
In all cases the Parish Staff will communicate over Social Media and Flocknote let the members of the parish know that we have closed and to let them know when we have opened the facilities back up for regular activities.
