To All the Good People of St. David the King:
Here ye! Here Ye! Your prayers have been answered!
I am happy to announce the resumption of our usual weekday/weekend Mass schedule. Weekday Mass will be in the main church. Weekend Masses will be held in the Great Hall. However, in order to attend any Mass, you must register. Click the Mass sign-up icon on the right side of the website homepage and select the Mass you wish to attend. You be taken to the Sign-up page for the Mass you wish to attend; follow the directions outlined on this page. If that Mass is full, sign up for another one. Print the emailed confirmation and bring it with you to Mass or show us the email confirmation on your smart phone. Everyone attending weekday or weekend Masses must do the following:
- Wear a face covering
- Show your registration confirmation either paper or digital
- Practice social distancing
- Leave the Church or Great Hall as soon as Mass is over.
A reminder: the obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains suspended until Labor Day, Monday, September 7.
Those who are hesitant or fearful because of COVID-19 concerns as well as those with a COVID-19 diagnosis or symptoms, those who may be asymptomatic carriers, those not feeling well, those with underlying health conditions or those in a high-risk category should stay home and avoid any public gathering.
The Livestream Mass will continue on Sunday mornings at 10:00 am. Drive-up Communion will be 10:40 – 11:15. Please use the New Village Road Main entrance. The Church will be open for private prayer, Monday – Thursday, 11 am – 2 pm and will close after the Friday morning Mass. All parish offices remain closed. At this time there can be no small group prayer meetings or social gatherings until further notice. The Knights of Columbus will continue to “live stream” communal recitation of the rosary on Fridays at 10:00 am. Just click on the Rosary icon on the left side of this page to participate.
Finally, if you want to crush the COVID, you must avoid the 3 C’s:
- Closed spaces
- Crowded spaces
- Close contact settings
Thanks so much for your prayers, patience, generosity and for never giving up hope.
You’re the best!
Fr. Tim
