Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church

Did you receive your "Welcome Back" letter in the mail from Fr. Chrispine?  If not, please let us know in the Parish Office so we can verify your contact information in our records.

Click on the document link below to read the letter.

Currently, it is not necessary to sign-up to attend Mass.

If you are fully vaccinated, you do not have to wear a face mask in the church, or social distance.  However, if you are not vaccinated, we ask that you please still wear a mask and social distance for your health and safety.  You will not be asked for proof of vaccination.

Because of the relaxed restrictions on attendance and mask-wearing, we are temporarily no longer recording or live-streaming the Sunday Mass.  However, if you are homebound and would like to receive a pastoral visit from Fr. Chrispine, just let us know in the Parish Office.

For safety reasons, the church's side entrance will be locked 5 minutes after Mass begins.  If you come late, you will have to go to the front doors and knock, and a hospitality minister will let you in.  It is always important to come to Mass on time, because when you enter late, you distract those who are already in the church, and disrupt their prayer and worship, and it is disrespectful of the Church's Sacred Liturgy.  Therefore, please come early and be on time, because God is worth the effort.
