It is truly wonderful to have folks back in the church for Mass. This has been a truly historic event that has happened in our time. We will discuss this for years and speak of it to our children and grandchildren. Probably the biggest obstacle has been the unknown. No doubt we will look back and see how thing could have been done better and things we did that did not need doing. Please expect the uncertainty to continue for a while. Last Sunday we had about 25 in attendance on Saturday evening and about 50 on Sunday. Folks are asked to be diligent in using the hand sanitizer when entering the church. We ask folks to politely observe social distancing as much as possible. But please keep in mind, that as more folks return to Mass this will be more difficult to maintain. So, if you are vulnerable, you might want to refrain from attendance until the presence of the virus has died down. No parish activities are scheduled just yet but hopefully we can soon start them up. Finally, a big thank you for your faithfulness and attentiveness to prayer and support of the parish and its members. We have members who are struggling with some very serious health issues, (not virus related). We have a family who suffered great loss from a fire to their home. You have been very supportive. I frequently see people stopping by the church to pray. From what I read; many parishes are struggling financially due to the loss of offerings. Not us. Yes, it’s down but by no means devastating. You have been very diligent to either mail in your offering or give online. Thank you and God bless you!
