We all need to observe safety and the necessity of travel during the harsh winter months in Iowa. Therefore, daily weekday Masses will follow the school closing rules. Tuesday, 5:30 pm Masses will be cancelled if school has been dismissed or let out early for the day. If school has a late start or is cancelled in the morning, there will be no 8:00 am Mass for that day. Inclement weather does not apply to Funeral Masses.
