Parish Office Hours
In the coming weeks our parish office hours will be reduced (Monday thru Friday, 9 AM – 2 PM) and messages may be delayed. We ask your patience and understanding. Our ever-faithful parish secretary, Diana Maza, will be undergoing total knee replacement surgery, with the necessary healing/rehab time required.
Diana will continue to work from home but “on site” parish office availability will be slightly disrupted. Keep Diana in your prayers and be patient. If all else fails, you can always speak directly to Father after Mass

The Season of Lent
Fast and Abstinence
All Catholics who have reached their 14th year are bound to abstain entirely from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent. All Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 inclusive are also bound to observe the law of fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. This means limiting oneself to a single full meal and avoiding food between meals. Two other light meals, which together do not equal a full meal, may be taken during the day.
Please carefully choose what you will sacrifice for Lent and what ever it is, do it with a generous and joyful heart. It's our way of saying we are sorry for our sins and that we understand and appreciate the sacrifices Christ endured for love of us. Like everything this side of heaven, we'll only get out of Lent what we put into it.
We still have safety / distance rules from Governor Cuomo that MUST be followed so please help us comply by following all directives:
FACE MASKS MUST BE WORN
ENTER CHURCH BY FRONT DOORS ONLY!
NO CHOICE of SEATS USHERS WILL SEAT YOU
WE CAN ONLY HAVE 50 PEOPLE AT EACH MASS
BENCHES AND DOOR KNOBS ARE SANITIZED AFTER EVERY MASS
REMINDER REGARDING THIRD COMMANDMENT OBLIGATION TO ATTEND SUNDAY MASS the obligation to attend Mass is still suspended. For the time being no one is obliged to come to Mass. Mass is now available for those who would wish to attend.
Please use adult, prudential judgement:
If you are sick stay home!!!
If you have health issues or age-related concerns stay home!!!
If you are apprehensive, worried or uncomfortable with any gathering stay home!!!
