St. Bernadette is considering moving the 10:30 a.m. Mass on Christmas Day to a later time. We feel that, given decreased attendance at the 10:30 a.m. Christmas Day Mass, and high attendance at late-morning Masses (11:30 a.m. and later) at surrounding parishes, our parish families may be better served with a Mass later in the morning.
We are not considering making changes to any of our other Masses on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. We will still have a 4 p.m. family Mass on Christmas Eve as well as Masses at 12 midnight and 8:30 a.m. We are not considering changing our regular Sunday Mass times; they will remain at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m.
The results will be discussed with the parish council in May. We will decide then whether or not to change the 10:30 a.m. Mass time on Christmas Day. Thank you for your participation.
