COVID-19 Update: February 11, 2022
MASKS NOT REQUIRED
at all masses & indoor events until further notice.
Dear Parishioner,
As you may be aware, the Governor of New York has ended the mask mandate for all indoor gatherings. This took effect on February 10, 2022.
In keeping with this expiration of the mask mandate in New York State, the Diocese of Albany will no longer mandate that masks be worn in diocesan churches and offices,
effective February 10, 2022.
However, the diocese encourages Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion to continue to wear a mask during the distribution of Communion.
On that note too, any parishioner who feels like wearing a mask is encouraged to do so, either because of compromised immune system or any other medical condition.
We will continue to bring up the gifts at Mass after the collection. This will include just the ciborium, the book of prayer intentions, and the collection basket.
May God bless you all for your patience and understanding during this challenging times.
Blessings!
Fr. Simon
