No one should put themselves or their family at risk to attend Mass or fulfill a liturgical assignment. When travel is not safe, all are excused from the obligation to attend Mass.
Mass at St. Michael will not be canceled for weather emergencies. Father will walk from the rectory to the church and celebrate Mass with whatever ministers and people who are able to safely attend. Masses at St. John and St. Aloysius will be decided on an individual basis as weather permits.
During the week, events and gatherings will follow the morning snow closure and bad weather directions of the Oregon Trail School District and the Estacada School District. When the respective school district is closed, all gatherings at the parishes will be canceled unless noted otherwise.
If there is a sudden change in the weather during the day, or there is a gathering that meets on a weekend, the pastoral staff or ministry leader of the respective gathering will make the decision just as soon as possible to ensure safe travel.
Cancellations will be posted on the website and a message will go out through Flocknote.
Love God. Love People. Make Disciples of Jesus Christ.
