Inclement Weather Policy

Parish Office and Scheduled Masses & Activities

If St. Thomas More School closes or delays on a weekday, then the Parish Office will follow their closure or delay and all scheduled parish activities for the day and evening will be canceled. Staff will work remotely during regular office hours.

Closures will be posted on the home page of the parish website.

Fr. Matthew and Fr. Okumu will do their best to celebrate the scheduled weekday Masses and funerals. If weather conditions are unsafe for driving or walking, please stay home.

On Saturdays and Sundays, Fr. Matthew and Fr. Okumu will do their best to celebrate the scheduled Masses. If weather conditions are unsafe for driving or walking, please stay home.

Dispensation from Obligation to Attend Mass

When travel advisories have been issued, or weather conditions make driving or walking to church dangerous, the Church dispenses us from the obligation to attend Mass in person on Sundays and Holy Days. You are encouraged to watch Mass online. We are also dispensed when we are sick or responsible for the care of another person who cannot be left unattended.
