Easter Parish Office Hours

Our Lady of Hope Office will be closed at Noon on Good Friday (April 3rd) and will be closed all day Easter Monday (April 5th).

Availability of Holy Communion

We recognize that many in our community do not feel safe in attending Mass. We encourage using our livestream Mass. Unfortunately a livestream Mass does not enable a person to receive Communion. We invite those who are attending a Mass online or TV to come to St. Pius X Church at about 9:45 AM on Sunday mornings. Following the 9:00 AM Mass a priest will be available at the door of the church (approximately 9:45-10:00 AM) to distribute Communion. Follow social distancing in any line and wear a mask, please. You will not be entering the church.
