Sunday Mass, 5th Sunday of Lent
Brothers and Sisters,
I hope that this email finds you healthy and adjusting to our "Stay at Home" directive from the Governor. A special thank you to everyone who is out providing care and essential services so that so many of us can hunker down in safety. Please know of my prayers for all of you. At this time we know for sure that because of the Governor's directive we will not be celebrating Palm Sunday together. Our Parish Pastoral Team is moving forward under the assumption that we will not be able to be together in person for the Triduum and Easter. Next week we should have more information about how you can connect to those liturgies electronically. And it wouldn't hurt to pray for a miracle that we would be able to celebrate them together in person!
In general, we are trying to not make decisions about canceling or moving future events until we absolutely have to as we want to keep things as normal as possible once we are able to be together again.
Some updates I can provide at this time:
The earliest the parish office will be able to be open again: Tuesday, April 7th
The earliest our school ministry will be able to return to the school building: Monday, May 4th
First Communion: Moved from Saturday, May 2nd to Saturday, May 23rd
*Obviously the above dates are subject to change based on the judgment of civil, diocesan and parish officials*
Thank you so much for your continued prayers. Please know that you can count on mine. I greatly look forward to seeing you all again in person!
God Bless,
FD
