I received notification Wednesday evening that a member of our St. Ferdinand parish staff received a positive result for a COVID-19 test. Since we are beginning to contact trace and work out the details for cleaning and sanitizing our buildings, I am closing the entire parish office as well as the annex building for Thursday (12/3) and Friday (12/4). However, all sacramental activity in the church will continue uninterrupted. Employees are being directed to work remotely at this time. I apologize for having to take these extreme measures that may cause you inconvenience, but I want to ensure that our staff and anyone that comes on campus are kept safe and healthy. Let us pray for our employee who is critical to the operation of our parish. God Bless, Fr. Philip
