Dear parish family,

Firstly, I want to thank you, my parish family for being so good to me. As many of you know, May is overall a month of celebration for me. Celebrating my birthday, my priestly ordination anniversary, and my diaconate ordination anniversary, I kind of see this month as my “Victory Month.” Probably, it’s more like God’s victories in and through me. And to top it all off, we get to celebrate our Blessed Mother, our patroness and guide, who means so very much to me, personally.

This being said, I want to thank each and every one who has sent me kind words, gestures, and gifts. There are far too many of you name individually and you have once again reminded me of the immense love and support I have as your pastor. I could not be more grateful! Thank you!

I also wanted to reach out to all of you at this time to let you know that this weekend we will not be returning to public celebration of the Mass. The reasons for this are many. For one, 25% is not a number that gives me any confidence, especially when one considers that the percentage does not take into account the square footage if social distancing is to be observed, as it should be observed. Also, truth be told, these protocols, now under review by our staff and soon by our pastoral council have to take account a lot of logistics if they are to be effective, clear, and most of all safe for everyone. I can tell you that we will maintain closure until we are given clearance for a much higher capacity (i.e. upwards of 75%). We are close to releasing these protocols, but not quite yet.

However, I am pleased to announce that beginning this weekend and continuing for the foreseeable future, we will be live streaming Sunday Mass. Beginning this weekend Mass will be live-streamed at 10:00am. When Public Mass resumes live-streaming will continue to be available for those who do not yet feel comfortable praying Mass in person. When public Masses resume the time for live-streaming will be announced. God bless you all!
 In His Paschal Joy,

Fr. Daniel J. Gutierrez, Pastor

 

"For there are three ways of performing an act of mercy: the merciful word, by forgiving and by comforting; secondly, if you can offer no word, then pray—that too is mercy; and thirdly, deeds of mercy."
