Bevcomm will air Masses from the past weekend on Channel 6 Sundays at 8:30 am and 11:30 am and Wednesday at 4:00 pm for those who are homebound. There is also a video link available below the livestream box on this page.

There are many people that may need a pastoral visit (hospitalized, homebound , nursing home, tragedy, illness or injury, financial concerns, mental health issues, and others). We would love to help! We are not always in the know about people in need; HIPPA Laws and people "being afraid to ask for help" can prevent us from being our church community presence to those in need. Please, if you or someone you know might be in need of a visit or phone call, let us know.
