Governor Cuomo announced earlier today that houses of worship could open on June 6 at 25% occupancy Although that is wonderful news it was unexpected. We were given guidelines at the end of May which outline what is required of parishes before they can reopen. Please see rcda.org under "Coronavirus" and scroll to the May entries to review the significant number of requirements. Before we can open we will need a strong response from parishioners ready to help, both in preparation and during the Masses. Father David recently requested volunteers for a Pandemic Committee. Only 4 people (to whom we are very grateful) from the entire parish offered to help. Before we can open we will need, for example, at least 12 ushers/greeters at each Mass, as well as volunteers to disinfect all surfaces between each Mass, and volunteers to fulfill a number of other tasks as you will see on the Diocesan website. If you are able to help at any, or all, Masses please contact Pat Holm in the parish office. We cannot open our doors for Mass without you! Please continue to monitor our website, Facebook, myParishapp and the Diocesan website for information.
