"I teach metaphysics and apologize for what some might deem too speculative for the issue at hand regarding human life.

In light of the recent Supreme Court ruling which determined that an increase in restrictions for the number of worshipers in a church runs contrary to their First Amendment Rights, we have decided at this time to refrain from our initial instruction that parishioners would be required to sign up online for weekend Masses at St. Ann’s Church. This being said, we will continue the present practice of allowing no more than 100 persons in the church for Mass.
