Please help us keep our church safe and clean for you. There is a need after every Mass each weekend.
You would arrive 45min-50min after mass started if you are not attending the mass. A maintenance employee will be onsite to lead and assist in the disinfecting process. We go through and wipe down all the pews that were used along with door handles/light switches and the 2 bathrooms. With 3-4 people it takes about 30min.
