Pope Francis offers a special liturgy from the Vatican
Friday March 27, 1pm Eastern time
"Archbishop Perez requests all the faithful who are able to join in this special service, which will livestream on vaticannews.va. The Holy Father will offer a very special papal blessing and plenary indulgence to all who attend.
I invite all our parishioners to join the universal Church in this solemn event."
Many parishioners have sent notes of thanks to Monsignor for offering the Mass and reflections via video. Keep in touch with your priests and deacons by watching their videos.
Many thanks to Charlie Gross, Ed Molloy, and their team of volunteers for putting together an evening full of great music, food, and fun at the St. Patrick's Day party on March 7. More than 150 people attended. We also had fun after Mass with a St. Patty's hat! Go to our St. Patrick's Day Party page to see more pictures.

How we should respond to the Coronavirus restrictions
Fr. Mike tells us about his emergency evacuation from the Holy Land and how we as Catholics should focus on our "sphere of influence" rather than our "sphere of interest."
