Inclement Weather Policy

snowflake_2744In the case of a serious snow or ice emergency during which is is dangerous to drive, the Church does not expect you to risk life and limb to get to Sunday Mass.  The law itself ceases to bind, and no announcement or dispensation is needed; you make the decision if you can safely attend Mass.

Please check the VDOT Website to help you assess road safety.

snowman_2603If Bedford County Schools are closed, there is no daily Mass.  If schools are closing early on a Wednesday due to inclement weather, there is no 7:00 PM evening Mass.  If schools are delayed on a Monday or Friday morning due to inclement weather, there is no morning Mass.  If government offices are closed, the church office will also be closed.
