Statement Concerning Coronavirus (Covid-19)

Dear Faithful,
 
We are certainly aware of the possible threat of the coronavirus in communities that may impact the Diocese and local parishes. We are monitoring the situation and taking precautionary steps as necessary and recommended by health authorities.

 At this time, neither the Diocese or any of our parishes, consistent with recommendations of various health authorities, are suspending our Sunday services. However, we are considering suspending non-essential activities and events in abundance of caution. We will be issuing a statement regarding the status of Reclaim within the next 24 hours. We continue to monitor the situation and will respond accordingly based on recommendations from health officials.

 We encourage everyone who is sick or part of the at-risk group to stay home.
 
This is certainly a stressful time for all but we encourage people to follow those recommendations by health officials.
