We'll have Mass in the shaded areas but
have your personal sun/rain protection gear
ready just in case as we cannot
guarantee every seating location will be
covered.
For everyone's safety, we cannot allow
participants to use their vehicles for
seating in the worship area. In addition
drinking fountains will remain
temporarily closed; so don't forget to
bring some water bottles.
