Because of the concerns surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, and in keeping with guidelines and regulations released by the Diocese of Orange, the following mandates will apply here at KMCC immediately:
1. There will be no meetings, gatherings, ministries and events to take place here at KMCC until further notice.
2. All Masses will continue as normal. However, we will assign each district to attend a particular Sunday Mass time so that we can have less people at each Mass allowing for greater distance between parishioners. Please see below for when your district is asked to come to Sunday Mass.
3. Very soon, we will be updating our parish website to be the centerpiece to keep our parish spiritually focused and to help remain prayerfully united. Please refer to
www.kmccoc.org often.
4. EVERYONE, I implore you to remain united in prayer. I am asking everybody to follow these parish commitments:
a) DAILY at 9:00 PM — Offer either the Divine Mercy Chaplet or offer the Lord’s Prayer, Hail Mary, and Glory Be. AND offer the
Prayer for an end to sickness which is available on the KMCC website.
b) EVERY FRIDAY at 9:00 PM — Join livestream for Stations of the Cross. Go to
kmccoc.org to access livestream.
c) EUCHARISTIC ADORATION. We will have daily Eucharistic adoration to sincerely pray for an end to this crisis and return to a normal way of life. The schedule is as follows:

7. For all others this is the note from our Bishop:
Until further notice, the Diocesan Bishop hereby dispenses from the obligation to participate in Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation (cf. canons 85, 87 §1, 90 §1 and 1247 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law) those faithful who, out of legitimate concern for their health and/or the health of others, wish to avoid crowded areas. Such faithful should avail themselves of a livestreamed service which will be at the KMCC website,
www.kmccoc.org, at 9:30 am in Korean and 11:30 am in English.

* If you cannot come at the assigned time, that is no problem, please come when you can.
9. CONFESSION: Because our penance service has been cancelled, I will make myself available for confessions from March 29 – April 4, ALL DAY, from 9:30 am to 9:00 PM. Please come ANYTIME you wish and I will hear your confession.
10. Again, I cannot implore all parishioners enough to please pray during this time and please let us stay committed to our WHOLE PARISH PRAYER COMMITMENTS.
