When school is cancelled in Hanover
OR Norwell, there will be no 9 a.m. daily Mass. In such instances, it is unsafe for parishioners to be on the roads. If there is an intention, it will be moved to the next available daily Mass. CatholicTV televises daily Mass, which makes for a great alternative on these infrequent occasions. Thank you for understanding!
With the winter weather upon us, we encourage you to sign up for our text alert system. Many of you may already use this messaging system with your 6 - 9th graders in LifeTeen. We plan on only using the system for cancellations or major changes to the schedule (ie: if drop off and pick up is at the church instead of the Parish Center) You can sign up for as many days as are appropriate for your family. Just text the code of your child's religious ed day/days to 81010. The codes are as follows: Monday = @HMCMon Tuesday 3:00pm = @HMC Tues300 Tuesday 4:30pm = @HMCTues430 Thursday = @HMCThur . Please be sure to include the @ symbol or you will get an error message.
