OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

Simon and Jude Parish will keep our doors open and maintain protocols to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Your safety and spiritual well-being is our top priority.
 
All liturgies will be held with proper social distancing.
 
Confessions will continue to take place on Saturdays from 8 - 9 a.m. and 4 - 5 p.m.
 
Our morning mediation and Holy Communion is essential to the life of our soul and humble joyful living. Therefore, “Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in us the fire of your love.”
 
Cooperation and tremendous support has been seen everywhere. I thank you one and all for your courtesy, giving hearts and cooperation. I wish the whole world could witness what I have seen from the good people of Saints Simon and Jude, and our broader communities of West Chester.
