The obligations are simple: a dec- ade of the rosary each day, the Confraternity Prayer each day, and to have one Mass offered each year for the intentions of the Confraternity. These intentions are 1) for the sanctification of our members, 2) for vocations to the FSSP, 3) for the work the FSSP does. Visit https://fssp.com/ confraternity-of-saint-peter/ to enroll.

A reminder of the diocesan directives we are following:

• Except in the case of children under 2 years of age and persons with health issues, masks are to be worn as face covering the entire time parishioners attend Mass or any other liturgical event in a parish, includ- ing sacramental Confession. They are not permitted to be lowered at any time while in the church except to receive Holy Communion. Those unable to wear a mask are asked to sit toward the back of the church. • Social distancing is to be observed. The measure of 6 feet between individuals and family groups is to be maintained while seated and moving. Groups are not to gather outside of the church for social time. Face masks should be worn until a person has left the church property and distanced himself or herself from the other congregants. • Sanitization of public spaces takes place after every liturgical gathering in our churches.
