In the case of inclement weather on Mondays through Fridays, the Parish Office follows the following schedule:

• If Prince George’s County Schools are closed, the Parish Office will be closed as well. 

• If Prince George’s County Schools open 2 hours late, the Parish Office will open 1 hour late.

• If Prince George’s County Schools open 1 hour late, the Parish Office will open ½ hour late. 

Prudent judgment should always be used by event participants. No event, including Mass, requires your attendance if you feel that weather conditions are dangerous. It is your right and responsibility to determine whether it is safe and/or wise to travel when road conditions may be hazardous. Those who choose not to travel because of unsafe conditions are dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass.

Mass will not ordinarily be cancelled due to weather conditions. However, in exceptional circumstances such as extreme weather conditions, power outage, or facility problems it may be necessary to cancel Mass. In such cases, information about cancellation will be made on the Parish Voice Mail as early as possible. 

Nighttime: If Prince Georges County cancels evening events, parish events are canceled as well.

Weekend Weather: If there is a severe weather warning that encroaches on the event time, then assume cancellation. 

The program/event leader must call the parish and inform the staff (please leave message for Marie Winterson at 301-474-3920). The participants should assume that if day events were cancelled, evening events are cancelled as well. 

Teen Drivers: If any doubt of hazardous weather conditions exists, parents should not have their teens drive to a Holy Redeemer event. Teens are much more likely to have accidents in bad weather than older, more experienced drivers.  Holy Redeemer Youth Group activities are always cancelled in the event of a winter weather advisory or winter storm warning overlapping any of the event, but may be cancelled whenever driving conditions are poor.
