Ss. John and Paul is following our normal Mass schedule. Daily Mass is celebrated in the parish hall where chairs can be placed apart for social distancing. Please observe physical distancing in the parking lot and stagger your entrance through the entrance doors to give others a six-foot leeway. Maintain a six-foot distance from other households in the parish hall and church.

Per the Diocese of Des Moines, everyone age 5 and older is required to wear a mask as an act of charity for others. Find more, including links to the Letter from the Bishop, and General Information to prepare you for the return to Mass here.

SOME PARISH MEETINGS HAVE RESUMED, most meeting outdoors because of the lower risk. Most events or activities are taking place through electronic means of engagement, or are being adapted to be smaller, physically distanced gatherings. No outside groups will meet in parish facilities.
