For Lent, we have all been asked to give up the communal celebration of the Mass. As I celebrate the Mass privately, something I have never done in my life until now, I am greatly humbled that the Mass is accessible to me, a priest. And I am greatly saddened that I can only share this wonderful gift that God has given to all of us with you in a spiritual way. Please know that when I celebrate the Mass, I am consciously, deliberately thinking of all of you, my parishioners, of all the people affected by this virus, of my parish and school staff, of the school families and faith formation families - especially the children of our parish who may not quite understand what is happening and may be filled with fear for their future. As we move into Holy Week and the celebration of Easter - we will have to celebrate those Masses without congregations. You have no idea how much we priests would want you all to be there.
Let us make a promise together - the first Sunday we can come together to celebrate Mass, let us make that day Easter! Let us anticipate that day to be the day we pack the church. Let us look forward to the day that we can come back together as a faith community, a human community, to give praise and worship to God our Father, through our Lord, Jesus Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
God bless you all. Your pastor, your priest, who is your friend and brother will not forget you!

Please note that this statement is different from the one in the bulletin.
There is a change. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, so that large crowds do not gather at the church and that it would be safer to distribute - we will not distribute palms on Palm Sunday. We will distribute palms at a later date, when it is safe to gather for a public Mass. Thank you.
