Dear Parisioners,
Following the directives we received from the diosese last Friday, this coming weekend, May 29/30, we will be going back to the “new normal.”  This will include the following:

• No need to register to attend Mass; simply come;
• The ropes will be off the pews;
• All entrances will be accessible;
• Masks are no longer required;  if you wish to continue to wear one, that is up to you.
• For those who are unvaccinated please continue to wear masks and keep the 6 foot distance;
• Collection baskets will be at the entrances of the Church as you arrive;
• Hymnals and music books are at each of the pews;
• Congregational singing will resume;
• The Offertory procession (bringing up the gifts) will resume;
• There will be 4 Communion stations – 2 at the top of the center aisle and 2 at the break; You will approach the Minister of Communion from the center aisle and return by the side aisle, as we did prior to the pandemic;
• You may receive Communion on the tongue if you wish.

While the restrictions are being lifted, the dispensation from the obligation of attending Mass continues until further notice. Masses are live streamed and recorded. Please see the viewer on this page.

I do want to thank all of you for your patience during this incredibly difficult period.  I want to thank you again for your continued generosity to the Parish.  It has been a blessing.  Lastly I want to thank the Knights for sanitizing the Church after each weekend Mass, and a special thank you to Charlie Spath for overseeing that project.

Fr. Michael
