After the CDC and New York State have relaxed some of the COVID restrictions, the Archdiocese of New York has done the same. New guidelines have been presented to us that we may follow immediately:

Those who are fully vaccinated are no longer required to wear a mask or keep social distancing in church. Unvaccinated individuals should still use a mask. Some people may still prefer to wear a mask, which is their option and is okay. For those who are not vaccinated, we will reserve a few pews where you may continue to practice social distancing. Everyone who has been vaccinated should carry proof of vaccination with them should anyone ask to see it. We are permitted now to give out bulletins and to use hymnals and missalettes.

Communion, however, must continue in the hand only for the time being, and we still cannot put holy water in the fonts.

While this is good news for all of us, we do, however, need to be sensitive to the feelings of people who still wish to wear a mask and retain social distancing. If someone is trying to distance themselves and asks you to keep six feet away, I ask you to kindly be understanding and to comply with their request, even if you disagree with their stance. We don't want the church to be a place of division or discomfort for anyone.

We can resume use of Extraordinary ministers, lectors, altar servers, and choir members who have received their vaccination. For now we will use them on a volunteer basis until everything is 100% back to normal. So if you'd like to serve, come see the priest (or Mr. Loman for choir members) before Mass and volunteer your services.

Fr. James and I have both received our vaccinations, so it is no longer necessary for us to wear masks even when distributing Holy Communion.

We may also resume the presentation of the gifts and the Book of the Gospels by the lector, provided all those presenting them have been vaccinated.

I am putting everyone on their honor and will NOT be asking the ushers to check proof of vaccination when someone enters without a mask. I trust every one will, in Christian charity, not endanger the health of others by not wearing a mask if it is not safe for them to do so and still be in the presence of others.

Meetings and social groups may resume at this time following the above guidelines.

Thank you to all of you for your cooperation during the pandemic. While we are not 100% back to normal yet, we have made great progress. I ask everyone to cooperate with the priest, the ushers, and your fellow parishioners as we strive to keep our worship space safe for everyone.

THE CHAPEL is open every day from 7am until 8pm for private prayer.​
