Masking For Mass The Diocese of Green Bay will continue to require the use of face coverings/masks in parishes. Diocesan guidelines are intended to help parishes provide an opportunity for the faithful to encounter Christ in the liturgy of the Church while at the same time remaining safe. We encourage all parishes to remain vigilant about the steps to decrease the spread of COVID-19 to others through the use of face covering/masks, social distancing and hand hygiene. It is no longer necessary to have temperatures taken unless you prefer. If you do not wear a mask due to medical or other reasons, you are still welcome at Mass. A designated seating area may be provided for your safety and the safety of others, when possible. We long for the day when we can come together mask-free as community. Until then, we continue to measure and monitor a number of benchmarks to guide us in determining when our restrictions can be lifted or changed.

40 Days for Life will be witnessing and praying every hour that Planned Parenthood on Oneida is open for the coming year. They are open Monday and Wednesday, 10:00am-6:00pm, and Thursday and Friday, 9:00am-5:00pm. If anyone would like to commit to any time slot whenever they are able, sign up at 40DaysforLife.com/Green Bay, or contact Kathy Cain at Kathycain68@ me.com or 920-621-4221.
