ADORATION: Saturdays
YEAR OF THE EUCHARIST
2.30-3.30 pm in the church.
“The more we receive the Eucharist, the more we will become like Jesus, so that on this earth we will have a foretaste of heaven.” Eucharistic Adoration “If we go out in the sun, we get a suntan … but when we get in front of Jesus in the Eucharist, we become saints.”
- Blessed Carlo Acutis

Office of Vicar General Updated Covid Policy -- February 15, 2022
With the latest COVID rates continuing to decline significantly, local and state officials have begun to relax COVID restrictions including mask wearing. Based on this trend the following guidance is offered to the parishes of the Diocese of Springfield.
1 - Mask wearing requirements should be discontinued as allowed by your local town/city officials. Some parishioners may continue to voluntarily wear masks and that decision should be respected.
2 - Altar servers, lectors, music ministers and choirs can be fully restored to their ministry without any restrictions.
3 - Holy Water fonts may be restored immediately. Some parishes may opt to restore fonts at the Easter Vigil at the blessing of the Holy Water. Some parishes have explored touch free dispensers- this could be a possible long-term solution for the comfort of some parishioners.
4 - Meetings, socials and other parish gatherings may be resumed as long as this is in compliance with local regulations.
Thank you for your excellent cooperation with COVID protocols for nearly two years. You have been exemplary. While the Diocese is lifting mask requirements, any who wish to continue to wear masks are welcome to do so. Communicants are still encouraged to receive communion in their open hands. The Parish will be restoring the use of holy water fonts soon.
