Please be advised, at the direction of Bishop Paul Bradley, bishop of Kalamazoo, public Masses in the diocese of Kalamazoo are suspended from Friday, March 20, at least through Palm Sunday. This of course includes St. Mary's parish. Additionally, all public gatherings are suspended unless explicitly indicated. We are working on a set of responses to help direct parish life in this most unusual time, including an expanded Confession schedule and measures to keep the church open through the day. Private Masses will be offered daily by your parish priests for your intentions. Please watch this space for regular updates and daily helps. May St. Joseph, spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Foster Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ intercede for us in this hour and bring his Son's heavenly protection upon you all - Fr. James Richardson, pastor
