Easter Sunday | April 11, 2020 at 8:00 AM

 

IMPORTANT: The 10:30am Mass has been cancelled.  We will only be having the 8:00am Mass on Easter Sunday.

 

The Church of All Saints is very pleased to announce that we will be having outdoor drive-in Masses during Holy Week. 

All Masses will be held in the parking lot of Flaherty’s Bowl in Arden Hills. (Flaherty’s Bowl is located at 1273 W. County Road E. Arden Hills, MN 55112.) This is with full approval of both the Ramsey County Sheriff and the Archdiocese.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHY THERE AND NOT ALL SAINTS? Flaherty’s Bowl was chosen for three reasons.  First, it is private property. Second, its parking lot can hold close to 225 cars, with additional overflow spaces, far exceeding All Saints’ capacity.  Third, the Ramsey County Sheriff was very accommodating in a way that greatly surpasses what we thought we could expect from the Minneapolis authorities.

CAN I GET OUT OF MY CAR AND WALK AROUND? All attendees will NEED TO REMAIN IN THEIR CARS during the entire Mass.  This point is very important; violating this could result in this allowance being discontinued with no chance to celebrate the Triduum or Easter Sunday.

WHAT ABOUT THE DISTRIBUTION OF HOLY COMMUNION? Per Archdiocesan directives, Holy Communion will not be distributed to the faithful either during or after Mass.  This directive will be set in place throughout the Archdiocese until normal operations resume.

WHERE WILL THE ALTAR BE AND HOW DO I GET THERE? The Mass will take place under a large tent in the parking lot on the north side of the building.  The altar, being built for the occasion, will be at the north end. All traffic coming from either the east or the west will simply need to turn right onto Connelly Avenue, a small street encircling Flaherty’s.  Please drive past Flaherty’s and use the east driveway to enter the parking lot. We are asking that bigger vehicles start parking a little more towards the middle or back so as to avoid blocking the view of the altar for everyone.  The ushers will assist you.

WHAT ABOUT THE BATHROOM SITUATION? It is highly advisable that bathroom breaks happen before arriving for Mass.  Should you or someone in your car need to go during Mass, we are requiring the entire car drive over to Flaherty’s.  Simply exit out of the west driveway, and, before getting to the County Road E stoplight, turn left into the little parking lot.  (See picture of parking lot below.) An usher will be standing near where your family can get out. We are only permitted to allow one family at a time to go in and use the bathroom.  Everyone making use of this is asked to keep an eye on smaller children so that they do not wander around the facility; this will speed things up for everyone.  You may then drive back to your parking spot, using the east driveway entrance once again.

BETWEEN THE TENT, THE ALTAR, THE SOUND EQUIPMENT, THE STREAMING EQUIPMENT, AND EVERYTHING ELSE THIS SOUNDS EXPENSIVE.  HOW CAN I HELP?  Please donate and consider transferring your normal Sunday giving to an online tithe to help support these special Masses and other upcoming events.  Right now our Sunday giving the past few weeks is only around 50-60% of what the average had been before this virus hit. Your assistance with this is much appreciated!
