Online Masses & Spiritual Resources during COVID-19 (and Anytime!)

The Eucharist is central to the spiritual lives of Catholic.  Attendance at Mass not only strengthens our soul but also provides us with an opportunity for Christian fellowship. 

During the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, these resources will be helpful in maintaining our spiritual practices and coping with a difficult time. 

We also need to find safe ways to reach out and interact with family and friends.  Please do not be alone.  Let family and friends know your needs or reach out to someone you think might be in need.
