NO MASS FOR ST. MARGARET CHURCH ON MARCH 15TH, 2020

***IMPORTANT MESSAGE CONCERNING 

ST. MARGARET CHURCH 

FOR SUNDAY, MARCH 15TH, 2020***

As you are certainly aware of the growing Coronavirus / COVID-19 risks and concerns around the world, this concern is very real in Nursing Facilities for our senior citizens.  From the CDC website, we read the following in regards to nursing homes/assisted living facilities:

• Restrict all visitation except for end of life situations.
• Restrict all volunteers and non-essential healthcare personnel (HCP), including non-essential healthcare personnel (e.g., barbers)
• Cancel all group activities and communal dining

As such, we have been asked to not hold our Sunday Mass in the chapel for the time being.   As such, there will be no Mass offered on Sunday, March 15th, 2020 at Marquette Manor.  We will have to play this by ear, so to speak, and make a decision week to week until the concern is over. and we will be allowed to come back again.  While cancelling Mass is not something we would have chosen, we feel it is better to play it safe but also we must respect the wishes of our host.  Marquette Manor has been so gracious to St. Margaret Church for a number of years now.  We are very grateful that they not only let us use their beautiful chapel on a weekly basis but they also provide us room to store our church supplies/vestments/etc.   Marquette Manor has been a wonderful host to us since we lost our own church building.  

So, once again, Mass will NOT be offered on Sunday, March 15th, 2020.  

We hope this stoppage will be short-term but we will have to judge week to week and will let you know accordingly.  Please check back for updates concerning our Mass schedule.
