Mass & Confession Times

With public Masses re-opening, we are entering a new phase in the Church's pandemic response. In the Archdiocese of St. Louis, resuming the public celebration of Mass comes with required social distancing guidelines, including registration to keep the number of attendees at a safe level and to be able to track who attended each Mass if someone later becomes sick. We are using SignUpGenius to register for our Masses here at St. Simon. Simply click on the link below and select the Mass(es) you plan to attend.  You can do this one day or week at a time.  If your plans change, it is simple to go back and remove your name.  If you have any problems signing up, please contact Deacon Dave or Nancy in the parish office at(314) 842-3848.

Covid-19 Mass information as of May 18, 2020

Archbishop Carlson announced that public Masses could resume starting Monday, May 18th. While this is welcomed news, we will be required to follow many safety protocols, including:

• Those who are symptomatic or who have been exposed to another with the virus within 14 days are not permitted to enter church. All are asked to check their temperature at home before coming to church, and to remain at home if you have any symptoms or feel sick.
•  Those who are at risk because of an underlying health issue or who are over the age of 60 are strongly encouraged to avoid the risk of attending public celebrations of the Mass.
• The faithful are obliged to wear a mask upon entering the church and during the celebration of Mass.
• Families are to maintain six-foot distancing between their family and others families or individuals throughout Mass; one pew is to be left vacant in between congregants.
• Distribution of Holy Communion from the chalice is prohibited to the assembly; communicants are to receive the Body of Christ in the hand.

Please note: all four Missouri Bishops have dispensed the faithful from the obligation to attend Mass on Sunday until further notice. The COVID-19 pandemic presents a serious threat to our physical health! If you have any questions about Mass attendance, please feel free to contact the parish office.

We are continuing our Eucharistic Adoration on Tuesdays from 9am through 3pm, concluding with the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3pm.
 
ALL MASSES ARE STREAMED LIVE AND ARCHIVED TO BE WATCHED AT ANY TIME. SEE HOME PAGE.
