NEW RESTRICTIONS REGARDING CHURCH
 NEW Directives concerning Liturgies, Funerals, and Weddings at Sts. Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church during the COVID-19 crisis. Please note that in compliance with the National directives issued by our Prime Minister, we are required by law to adhere to plans and the absolute discipline expected for public gatherings.  

Four masses will be held each weekend beginning Saturday May 15, 2021:
 
Saturday:  4:00pm
Sunday:     7:00am
Sunday:     9:00am
Sunday:     11:00am
    30 persons can be present for each Mass. Persons who wish to attend mass must call the office to book for the Mass they wish to attend.

•  
•     Morning Mass & Saturday morning Masshave resumed.
•     All funerals and burials are still banned.
•     Inurnments with (10) ten persons in attendance lasting half an hour will be permitted.
•     Weddings are permitted and limited to 25 persons including the minister.
•     Persons are still permitted to visit the columbarium during the day (except when there is a curfew); they can speak with the security to enter.  
•     We will try our best to make available reflections, recordings, or video presentations during this time to enhance and complement your spiritual reading, family devotions, novenas, and personal prayer at this time. However, we encourage you to pray for one another and call each other to provide spiritual support. Find a prayer partner, build a spiritual bond with someone. Please keep in touch with those who live alone.
•     The Church office will remain open from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm on weekdays when the curfew ends at 8:00 pm. The sacraments of the anointing of the sick and reconciliation are available during this time. Please note that the priest or bishop can only provide sacraments to persons outside of quarantine/isolation and within the current restrictions to hospital visits of one person a day.  
•     The Church’s soup kitchen ministry will continue providing for the poor and the needy.
•     St. Vincent de Paul will try and assist as best as they can within their limitations, those persons normally supported by the ministry.  
•     Regarding our stewardship of treasure, we are inviting persons who can do so at this time to make electronic transfers. If you are unable to do so via this method, you can drop off your collection at the Church office during the week. Thank you in advance for your generosity. The accounting details are in the bulletin.
   

Parishioners are encouraged to share a deeper participation in the parts of the mass that have been suspended remotely in their personal prayer.                                       

Thank you for your cooperation as we navigate these trying times.
