Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,
Happy Feast of St. Matthias today, May 14!
Attached is a press release from the Diocese you maybe reading about on social media or news soon. It shares general paramters about opening of churches for private prayer starting this weekend. Again, churches will NOT be open for public Masses yet.
Tomorrow sometime (not sure when), the Diocese will share with all priests a 43 page book on "Moving Forward Together" that will have details for us on how we can open churches, how frequently they need cleaned, with what products, and more specifics on what we need to do to prepare.
I'll share with everyone as soon as I can digest, with some of our staff, that 43 page document tomorrow, what we can start to do this weekend. One thing I anticipate needing are some volunteer cleaners for our church spaces, not to mention some cleaning products which may be difficult to get at this time. For now, let's continue to pray and participate by livestream Masses.
In Christ,
Father Kevin
