St. Helen Catholic Church

Beginning Sunday, September 26th, the Sunday evening Mass will change from 6:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. This change has been approved by Bishop Joe Vásquez, with prior consultation with members of the Parish Council, Parish Leadership, staff, volunteers, and our parishioners.

The reasons for this change are:

•  Over the last 9 months, volunteers, musicians, and parishioners have expressed that the Mass at 6:30 p.m. is too late. Some of our parishioners have a difficult time driving at night.

•  Our Faith Formation Program on Sunday will end by 4:30 p.m. This will provide an opportunity for all students, especially those in high school, to attend the 5:00 p.m. Mass.

•  It also provides us opportunities throughout the year for Praise & Worship, talks, retreats, and other fellowship for high school students and their parents, and for parishioners.  

Again, On Sunday, September 26th, the Sunday evening Mass will be at 5:00 p.m.

• Durante los últimos nueve meses, voluntarios, músicos y feligreses han expresado la Misa de 6:30 p.m. será muy tarde. Algunos de nuestros feligreses tienen dificultades para conducir de noche.

• Nuestro programa de Formación de Fe el domingo terminará a las 4:30 p.m. Esto brindará una oportunidad para que todos los estudiantes, especialmente aquellos en la escuela secundaria, asistan la Misa de 5:00 p.m.

• También nos brinda oportunidades durante todo el año para alabanza y adoración, charlas, retiros y otras confraternidades por estudiantes de escuela secundaria, sus padres y para los feligreses.

De nuevo, el domingo 26 de septiembre, la Misa Dominical de la noche será a las 5:00 p.m.
