Daily Mass and Word & Communion Schedule
Our daily Mass schedule is as follows. As a reminder, whenever a funeral is held in one of our parishes, the daily Mass is converted to Word & Communion. If, however, the funeral is held in that parish, no daily Mass or Word & Communion is celebrated that day. Also, if the local school is delayed or cancelled for weather, so is the daily liturgy.
Monday no daily liturgy Tuesday 8:00am daily Mass or Word & Communion at Sacred Heart Parish - Volga and St. Patrick Parish - Colesburg Wednesday 7:00am daily Mass at St. Mark Parish - Edgewood Thursday 8:00am daily Mass at St. Mary Parish - Strawberry Point Friday 8:00am daily Mass at St. Joseph Parish - Elkader
This Mass schedule can also be found anytime by tapping or clicking the Mass Times button in the lower right corner.
