Inclement Weather Policy

Severe weather is a year-round possibility that can affect liturgies and parish activities.

Our parish policy for ice and snow follows:

WEEKDAYS during the 9-month school year

• Mornings - The parish conforms to Durham Public Schools' pronouncements: the delayed opening of schools or cancellation of classes affects parish office hours and cancels morning liturgy. (Exception: When DPS are delayed as a result of low temperatures and no other harsh weather conditions, parish office hours and morning liturgy will continue as scheduled.) For details, check the website for a Special Alert or call the Parish Center voice mail greeting at (919) 544-7135.
• Afternoons and Evenings – Any cancellation of liturgies or parish activities will be announced on the website via Special Alert and on the Parish Center voice mail greeting:  call (919) 544-7135.

WEEKDAYS during school holidays and the summer

• Mornings, Afternoons and Evenings – Any cancellation of liturgies or parish activities will be announced on the website via Special Alert and on the Parish Center voice mail greeting:  call (919) 544-7135.

WEEKENDS

• Saturday Vigil / Sunday Masses – Regular weekend Masses will not be canceled for inclement weather unless announced directly by the diocese.  As a parishioner, always consider circumstances that may affect your personal safety with respect to your attendance at Mass.
• Activities other than Masses – Any cancellations of activities other than regular weekend Masses will be announced on the homepage of the website and on the Parish Center voice mail greeting. Call (919) 544-7135.
