Dear friends, It was with great joy that we celebrated Holy Mass in our beautiful church last weekend. Although we still have many restrictions, I have to say I really got choked up walking up to the altar and seeing 50 parishioners in the pews. I have truly missed seeing you and I look forward to the day when we can all be together in prayer. There has been a lot of thought and planning taking place be-hind the scenes in order for us to re-open for public Mass and continue to provide livestream with parking lot Communion. I would like to thank our COVID-19 Committee who mapped out specific seating for social distancing, marked the floors, set up hand sanitizers throughout the church and chapel, greet-ed and counted those entering the church along with parish nurse volunteers, had instructional signs printed and so much more. Our ushers did a wonderful job guiding parishioners to safe distance seating. And truly behind the scenes, I thank our volunteers for carefully sanitizing the entire space after each Mass. Thank you also to the Knights of Columbus and St. James Men of Charity for the wonderful job they have done in setting up for and managing the distribution of Communion in the parking lot. It has been run efficiently and joyfully for four weeks now. I appreciate the continued work of Michael DePrima Produc-tions for the filming of the 9:00 am Mass, our deacons, and our reader and music ministries for their willing participation. Please forgive me if I have forgotten to mention anyone. Of course, I thank all of you for your patience and understand-ing. This has been an unprecedented time in our Church, and we have all had to learn as we go. Please continue to watch for parish E-nnouncements for any changes to the Mass attendance numbers and/or times. Best, Msgr. Cronin

A Message from our Pastor...
Eucharistic Adoration
Prayer to overcome Racism Mary, friend and mother to all, through your Son, God has found a way to unite himself to every human being, called to be one people, sisters and brothers to each other. We ask for your help in calling on your Son, seeking forgiveness for the times when we have failed to love and respect one another. We ask for your help in obtaining from your Son the grace we need to overcome the evil of racism and to build a just society. We ask for your help in following your Son, so that prejudice and animosity will no longer infect our minds or hearts but will be replaced with a love that respects the dignity of each per-son. Mother of the Church, the Spirit of your Son Jesus warms our hearts: pray for us. Amen The Bishop has dedicated every Friday in the month of June to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, centering on prayer to bring racial harmony, healing and peace to our nation. The livestream of Evening Prayer each Friday, starting at 5 p.m., will be available on our diocesan web-site, Facebook and YouTube pages.
Registration deadline is June 22, 2020 Registration is open for Religious Education (CCD) and Family Catechesis. Forms are available on the parish website. Can you share an hour and a half each week with our young people? Help is needed teaching the following grades: 2, 3, 5, 7 & 8 as well as home school students in grades 4 & 5 who meet one Sunday per month.
