Over the July 4 holiday weekend, an extra Vigil Mass was added to the schedule at 4 pm, mostly to accommodate the Peachtree Road Race. This Mass was very well received by those who attended. In addition, many emails were received asking that Father Frank consider making this extra Vigil Mass part of the regular schedule in addition to the 5 pm Saturday Vigil Mass. As a result, Father Frank has agreed to explore the impact of adding the 4 pm Vigil Mass on a trial basis beginning Saturday, August 14. The Mass will last approximately 35 minutes in length so as not to disrupt the 5 pm Mass on Saturday evenings. This Mass will fulfill your Sunday obligation. Confessions on Saturday evenings will begin at 3:30pm. We hope the addition of this Mass will be helpful to you.
