FYI...
- A Communion service will take the place of 9 am Mass on Monday, March 1.
- Please remember to keep a mask on at all times while attending Eucharistic Adoration. If you find yourself there and you don't have a mask, please take a disposable one from the narthex table.
- Beginning March 7, the 8 am Mass will incorporate socially distanced seating - this is in addition to the Saturday evening Mass which remains earmarked for the vulnerable and parishioners over 60 yrs. of age. The biggest difference between the 4:30 pm vigil Mass and the 8 am Mass is the miusic. There is no cantor at the vigil Mass (nor has there been one since reopening).
Parish Mission Update
Thanks to all who showed up in person and to those who joined us virtually. Our parish mission was a great success. Let's become saints!
Dr. John Wood and Nick De La Torre put their hearts into this one-night presentation, and displayed their love and passion for sharing the Catholic faith.

What's Your Path to (W)holiness?
“'Holey, wholly, holy…' When you say that out loud, does it sound familiar? If so, that’s because we hear 'holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts...' at every Mass.
Brother Kolbe, @cfr_franciscans helped us to hear this term in a new light. One day, our founder Jackie was at St. Joseph’s Friary in Harlem to work with him and a number of other CFRs. Before their meeting. Br. Kolbe said he needed to pray first because it was going to take him courage to expose his holes. He said to Jackie, 'I’m not holy...I’m just so holey. Like, h-o-l-e-y.' We can assure you that Br. Kolbe is holy (he will be a saint one day!) - but while sitting in Mass later that day, Jackie was completely humbled by his words. It was then that she heard “holy, holy, holy” completely differently.
We are all on a path to wholeness and holiness. The only way to get there is by first exposing our holes so that God can fill them and make us whole. With this desire alone, Jesus can help us to become aware of our holes. From there, we can invite Christ in to fill them. It is in these very places that the Lord will fill us with His mercy and grace to make us whole. We need Him on this journey; let’s offer him our 'holey' areas to grow wholly holy. Will you join us on the true path to (w)holiness?"
