The most recent communication from the Archdiocese of New York advises: Mindful of everyone’s health, and for the sake of uniformity, palms are not to be distributed to the faithful at this time. They may be blessed at a later date using the form of blessing outside of Mass. Do not place palms outside church for people to come and pick up. We will announce the date of distribution as time goes on.
As you can appreciate we are living through ever changing, ever evolving way of living with the Coronavirus outbreak. Subsequent to submitting this week's bulletin, it was decided by the Archdiocese that confession is to be by appointment only. Parishioners should call the parish house and speak with a priest to set up a time.
Until further notice, all public Masses are cancelled. The Church will be open from 6am to 10am and 6:30pm to 8pm weekdays for silent prayer. Weekends the Church will be open from 4pm to 6pm and 7am to 1pm again for silent prayer only. We will continue to hold baptisms, funerals and weddings but they will be limited to immediate family only.
From nettv.net: Monsignor Peter Finn is the pastor of Blessed Sacrament Church in Staten Island, and he’s part of a new program to help protect the environment. Monsignor had rooftop solar panels installed on the church and the parish’s catholic school as a way to promote Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Si.
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process through which adults learn about the teachings of Jesus as the Catholic Church has handed them on and put these teachings into practice by living as part of the Catholic community, serving others and praying.
In September 2017, we announced that the Centere Corp., a national leader in providing managed care insurance plans, had agreed to buy the assets of Fidelis Care, so that the Church could continue to meet the health care needs of New Yorkers throughout the State in new and innovative ways. Through consultation with philanthropy experts, it became clear that the best path forward was to establish a foundation to continue our mission of caring for New Yorkers in need. Therefore the Catholic bishops have approved the creation of Mother Cabrini Health Foundation.
