Rejoice!  We have resumed daily and Sunday Masses. All Masses during this emergency time will be at Our Mother of Sorrows Church to accommodate 100 people at each Mass with the proper social distancing.  Weekday Masses will be at 8:30AM Monday through Friday and Sunday Masses will be 5:30PM on Saturday and Sunday at 7:30AM, 9:15AM and 11:30AM.
 
During this time, Bishop Malooly has suspended the Sunday Obligation to attend Mass.
People over 65 or others may not feel comfortable returning now.  Families should check for possible symptoms, such as a temperature over 100, a persistent cough, or sudden loss of taste or smell. Please stay home if you or anyone in your family has or has had symptoms in the past 14 days.
 
All those coming to Mass must wear a face covering.  Please put them on in your car and keep them on for the duration of the Mass and until you have returned to your car.
 
Please follow the advice of our ushers and the signage in Church to find appropriate seating for families, couples, and individuals.  If possible, please raise and lower the kneeler using your feet. 

 Priest and Ministers will have short entrance and exit from the sacristy.
 
For your safety, all hymnals and music folders have been removed from church. Please place your offering in the basket at each entrance. We will not have our regular collection or offertory procession.
 
There will also be no sign of peace during Mass.
 
Communion will be received only as a consecrated Host.  Both the Priest, the Deacon or Eucharistic Minister will sanitize their hands and then put on their masks for the distribution of Holy Communion.
 
As you come down the side aisle, please refer to the floor markings to maintain proper social distancing.  When it is your turn to receive, please lower your mask and then receive Holy Communion. During this unique time, we urge you to receive by hand.  You may still receive on the tongue.  After receiving the Blessed Sacrament, please replace your face mask and return to your pew by the main aisle.
 
At the final dismissal, we ask that you slowly leave the church maintaining social distancing. When you return to your car you can then remove your mask. 
 
We thank you for your patience and understanding as we adjust to these safety measures.

WELCOME BACK!!
MAY THE LORD BLESS AND STREGTHEN ALL OF US.  Fr. Clem
