For the past few months we have been discerning the current mass schedule and have made the following observations:

• The time between masses is a little tight:
• If a mass were to run over, even by five minutes, it makes it more difficult to clean the pews and prepare for the next mass.
• We currently do not have enough time to allow for adoration after mass, which has become a monthly custom at St. Paul's.
• If we wanted to consider adding music to the 8:15 mass, we would not be able to due to the short timeframe between the 8:15 and 9:30 masses.

We will start the new schedule on Palm Sunday March 28.

4:30 - Vigil (Ordinary Form- with music)
8:00am - (Ordinary Form - no music)
9:30am - (Extraordinary Form - with music)
11:30am - (Ordinary Form with music)

Having consulted with Pastoral Council, Staff, and also from the input people have shared through the completed surveys over the past weeks, we will be shifting our Sunday Mass Schedule. We will start the new schedule on Palm Sunday March 28. The new times will be: 8am Ord. Form, 9:30am
Extra. Form, 11:30am Ord. Form. We will offer reminders as we get closer. Thank you for your input and your flexibility. This new scheduled should allow for a bit more breathing room between the Masses and help people, ministers, and myself enter more deeply into the prayer of the Mass.
