Last week was a very busy week with 2 Funerals (celebrating & preparing for them), some other events that kept me from having a full day off, & a number of other commitments that left me, along with Confirmation on Sunday that, to put it lightly exhausted by week's end. After Mass on Sunday I just rested for the rest of the day & felt much better on Monday.  Out of an abundance of caution living with an older priest I went yesterday for a COVID test & found out this morning that I had tested positive.  I feel perfectly fine right now, haven't had any signs of a possible fever since late Sunday.  No aches, no chills, no difficulty doing anything, taste & smell all ok.  Last night I was sitting outside reading for a few hours.
Doctor's orders I am guaranteeing until Sunday, Sept. 6th so we will not have any weekday or weekend Masses @ St. Pat's or St. Vincent De Paul until the week of Sept. 7th.   Figuring out now what to do for food & supplies & stuff like that.

While we have suspended Mass here for a few weeks while I quarantine, here are the Mass times for other area parishes:
St Mel: M, Tu, W, Fr @ 6:45 am; Th @ 5:45 pm; Sa @ 4:30 pm; Su @ 7, 9:30, & 11:30 am
St Mark: M, Tu, Th, Fr @ 8:30; Sa @ 4 pm; Su @ 9 & 11. (Weekday & Sunday 11 also live-streamed from St Mark’s website...stmarkcleveland.comSt. Luke, Lakewood: M, W, Fr @ 8:30; Tu, Th @ 7:30; Sa @ 4:30; Su @  9, 11, & 5:30
(Saturday Mass is taped & posted by 7pm @

I am also hoping to do at least one “Pints with Padre” video during this time to continue to maintain connection with the parish communities.

Thanks for your prayers!!
