Parish Update 05/17/2021
Dear parishioners,
This letter is in response to the Governor’s easement of restrictions and Archbishop's directive this morning regarding masking and social distancing in a public gathering. There are a few points I would like to make before I let you know what has changed in our community beginning this Saturday at Immaculate Conception, Our Lady of Lourdes, Saint Catherine, and Saint Patrick.
1. I believe that most of our parishioners have been vaccinated by now. However, we should not lower our precautions just yet because COVID cases are still happening. So, I would like to remind everyone that if someone has been in contact with a COVID-positive person, he/she should be quarantined at home as required. Anyone who has experienced flu-like symptoms should also stay home.
2. I ask all parishioners to treat each other as Jesus treats each of us. We don't judge a person by "masked" or "unmasked" or "vaccinated or "non-vaccinated." Everyone is welcomed in our church. However, as the Archbishop said, we care for each other's health, and we don't put others at risk. Please respect each other and don't judge. At Our Lady of Lourdes and Saint Catherine, there will be four to six pews in the back, which will be taped for those who want to observe social distancing. At Immaculate Conception, those who wish to observe social distancing should sit inside pews next to the walls. The center rows will be used for those who feel comfortable with no social distancing (the tape will be taken out). So wherever you sit in the church, you are treated with respect by God's children.
Here is what has been changed:
1. Masking is up to parishioners. However, priests, deacons, and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are still required to wear Mass.
2. No shaking hands or hugging during the sign of peace. We will continue to bow to each other.
3. Holy Communion will be distributed in two lines in the middle like before.
4. The Precious Blood will not be distributed at this time.
5. Collections will be taken up at every Mass like before.
6. At Our Lady of Lourdes, this Saturday will be the last vigil Mass. There will be one Mass on Sunday at 9 AM.
7. Music books and missals will be placed back in the pews. Please don't take it home. They are used in the church.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, let us be gracious to our God, who always cares for us. Being able to come back to church in person is a blessing. The staff and I are happy to welcome you back. If you still have some fear from this pandemic, we pray that the Holy Spirit will cast away your fear, fill your heart with joy, hope and peace instead.
We welcome your comments about these good changes. We will get back to you as we are able. Thank you all very much for your cooperation. We need you to work with us to make our church communities a welcoming community.
May God bless you all! -
