Welcome to Mater Dei Parish as we celebrate
The Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time 
 

1.    Mater Dei Parish especially welcomes our visitors to Mass who are vacationing in the Northeast Kingdom. We pray that you enjoy a healthy and restful vacation and a safe return trip home.

2.    Bishop Coyne strongly recommends that masks continue to be worn during  Mass.  Masks are an important tool in the prevention of the spread of the coronavirus.  Wearing them shows your concern and respect for those around you.  We appreciate your cooperation.
