How To Protect Yourself and Others As we return to gathering in larger numbers for our celebrations of Mass, please continue to take these steps to protect yourself and others. These simple steps, many of which have become routine for most of us, include: 1. Wear a mask 2. Stay six feet away from others – avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces 3. Wash or sanitize your hands often 4. Cover coughs and sneezes 5. Clean and disinfect 6. Monitor your health daily – be alert for symptoms and take your temperature if symptoms develop 7. Get vaccinated to protect against COVID-19 Thank you very much for doing your best to follow these steps as a way to encourage others to do so too. With God’s help, we can get through this together.

In honor of Margaret Nordbye, a long-time, much loved parishioner at St. Boniface Church, her neighbors had a new crozier made for the statue outside the church. It was dedicated by Fr. Mike on January 14th - what would have been Margaret's 101st birthday. To see photos of the event, please see the photo albums on the right column of this page.
