Thank you to the 135 parishioners who joined us in person, the dozen or so who tuned in live via our VIMEO Channel, and to the countless others who watched us from beyond the Parish borders. Yesterday's Facility & Finance Meetings went well. There is a lot of information for all of us to digest.  fr. Jason's presentation will remain above until the end of the week.

In the coming weeks you will hear more about the Parish Stewardship Plans for the coming year. We will begin with an educational campaign about our on line giving program, FAITH DIRECT. We have Volunteers standing by ready to help answer questions or guide you in the registration process.

Thank you for continuing to bless our Parish with your Stewardship. Please continue to keep one another in prayer.

1) There is free COVID-PCR testing being done around the corner from the LISH Plant/CI office with results in 3-5 days; it is a drive-through style like Stony Brook. The PCR is free,
 the rapid is at a cost. No appointments required and they are open 7 days a week with some nights until 8 pm.

From the USCCB:  MORAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE NEW COVID-19 VACCINES From the Vatican: Vatican CDF says use of anti-Covid vaccines “morally acceptable”

To be said during communion time (while the priest is receiving communion in the video).

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the ost Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

In addition to this prayer, I encourage all to read through this excellent guide Fr. Ethel has prepared regarding spiritual communion. It can be found here: A Guide to Spiritual Communion

Thank you for your continued patience. We realize the Masses in the church fill up very quickly.  The seating in Nolan Hall is able to accomodate more people.

  Our Parish Mass is live streamed at 1030 on Sunday in English and 12Noon on Sunday in Spanish for all who are health compromised, unable to wear a mask, or uncomfortable yet returning in person. While this is not ideal, it is necessary.

Remember, more Volunteers are needed - please note VOLUNTEER in the comments when you register if you can help.
