Hi everyone, attached is my memo that describes our process to get back into church for Mass beginning this weekend. I am sure by now you have heard that Phase 1 means a limited capacity for Mass attendance. I include some tips of what to do if you are unable to get into Church. The best news is that the Bishop still encourages us to use our dispensation or to attend Mass on a weekday or view a live stream. Please do not be discouraged if you are unable to get a seat inside. And please do not feel as if you must be here this first weekend---especially if you are in an at-risk group or simply not ready for a return to public life even with safe distancing. As you know my younger brother Bryan fits into almost every at-risk category - I have grown really exhausted during this time but remain trusting in God's providence. He sees us through everything. I am praying for you regardless. You are our family.
