At kansascity.com, we find this statement: “The omicron variant—the latest mutation of the virus that causes COVID-19—has not arrived in Kansas City, but public health officials are preparing as case counts continue to rise in the area.” Adopting the same precautions, Fr. Mike Roach and I have CANCELED the Communal Reconciliation Service scheduled on Wednesday, December 15 and the 10 PM Christmas Eve Mass. If you need the Sacrament of Reconciliation, please make an appointment with Fr. Garry Richmeier.
