STORM POLICY

When Bourne public schools and town offices are closed on a weekday on account of a weather situation, our Churches and Parish Office will also be closed. We want to keep our parishioners safe. Your safety is most important to us! When you are not comfortable going outside because of a significant weather situation, please use your better judgment and stay at home!!
