The Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to be a prevalent and ongoing health concern across our country. As a result of Governor Holcomb’s announcement from March 12 that non-essential gatherings must be limited to no more than 250 people, Bishop Doherty is dispensing Catholics in the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass the last three weekends in March (March 15, 22, 29) but regularly scheduled public Masses will go on. This is not a permanent dispensation and updates will be provided as the situation evolves.

Bishop Doherty will be celebrating 8:00 a.m. (Eastern) Mass at Church of the Blessed Sacrament for the next 3 Sundays (March 15, March 22, March 29) which will be livestreamed and would love the presence of those unable to attend their parish Mass. Click Here.

• Persons who choose to stay home can still make the Lord’s day holy by prayerfully reading and discussing together the Scriptures for Mass and making a Spiritual Communion together.
• Families should also strive to unite as family in charitable acts for those affected by the Coronavirus and other family devotions such as the Rosary, novenas, Lectio Divina and refrain from any unnecessary work.

​​​​​​Fr. Weisenberger will continue to celebrate Saturday evening, Sunday and daily Masses. 

• All elderly and those with compromised immune systems should stay home. Although it is difficult to miss Mass, you are asked not to attend out of our love and concern for you.Be assured that if you are sick or experience syptoms of sickness, you are not obliged to attend Mass, and even that out of charity you ought not to attend (cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2181). Please know you have a dispensation.

Religious Education classes are cancelled for all grades until further notice. 

The Parish Office will remain open. The staff will continue to communicate with the parish as thing arise and change. Please monitor your email, Flocknote and the parish website. 

Additional Recommendations from the CDC :

1. If you are sick, please stay home and take care of yourself.
2. Wash your hands and/or sanitize them frequently.
3. Avoid touching eyes, mouth, or nose with unwashed hands.
4. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces in the home/work place.
5. Cover a cough or sneeze with a tissue. If one is not avilable, cover a cough or sneeze with the inside of your elbow. Immediately dispose of used tissues.

As we go through this difficult time, let us pray for one another and all those affected by the Coronavirus including those who are sick, caregivers, doctors, nurses and medical researchers.
