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.

Weekday Mass Cancellations - when the Portland schools are cancelled or have a delayed opening beyond 9 AM, weekday Mass will be cancelled. This is to ensure everyone's safety on the roads and also to allow our grounds people time to plow parking lots and clear walks and steps around the churches. The Parish Offices will follow this same policy.    St. Brigid's School will make its own school cancellation/delay notices. Weekend Masses are almost never cancelled, but each person should use good judgement about whether it is safe to travel.
