Dear Parishioners,
All staff members of KMCC have been tested within the past week and all have come out negative. Fr. Eugene and Sister Evangelica have tested three times and all negative, with the last test taken last Thursday. We thank everyone for their support and prayers.
Many of you have heard by now that the Governor of California has barred churches from gathering inside. However, the official order specifically states, “Counties that have remained on the County Monitoring List for 3 consecutive days will be required to shut down the following industries or activities unless they can be modified to operate outside or by pick-up.” “Worship services” were included among these activities. Therefore, we are permitted to gather outside for Masses. Therefore, ALL MASSES, including weekday daily Mass will be outside.
** PUBLIC MASSES will resume on Wednesday, July 15, 2020 at 9:00 AM.
** ALL MASSES WILL BE OUTDOORS!
Should be enjoyable as we gather outdoors like the crowds did when Jesus multiplied the loaves and the fishes.
Please bring the following items with you:
1) ** YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN CHAIRS!
2) Something to block the sun (big hat, fan, etc.)
3) Cushion to kneel on during the Mass (towel, etc.)
4) Your own hand sanitizer (so you can apply just before receiving Holy Communion)
5) Prepare (dress) for the weather
6) Headphones to connect to your cellphone in case you want to listen to the Mass audio broadcast.
PLEASE COME TO SUNDAY MASSES ACCORDING TO YOUR DISTRICT!
District 1 & 4 – Sat. Vigil
District 3 & 5 – 7:30 AM
District 2 & 6 – 9:30 AM
English – 11:30 AM
Sunday Masses will also have Zoom audio broadcast. This means that if you come to Mass you will be able to listen to the Mass in your car (but you will not be able to see the Mass). Zoom phone number and meeting ID will be given at the church. For the 9:30 am (Kor) and 11:30 am (Eng) Masses, you may see the Mass via livestream on your phone in your car, but you will need to use your own phone data. You will need to come out of your car towards the main gathering area to receive Holy Communion.
A couple changes for our Masses:
(1) We ask for the assembly to no longer sing during Mass.
(2) For now, lectors and sacristans will join with all other liturgical ministries that have been discontinued.

No matter what, we go with the flow and do all things to praise and glorify our Lord Jesus Christ.
