In the coming weeks, we will continue to livestream masses from our four churches on Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM, with the video recordings being available to watch anytime later. We will continue the same, alphabetical rotation we began on Holy Thursday; this Sunday Mass will be livestreamed from Nativity, with Masses coming from St. Gabriel, St. Germaine and St. Valentine the following three Sundays. The work we have been doing with livestreaming will continue to be of great value for us on into the future. Hopefully, it won’t be long before we can gather together again in person!
We also want to thank all those who have continued to generously support our four parishes in this time of financial crisis. With the four parish staffs operating on “bare bones” and all employees at the parishes either having been temporarily furloughed or reduced in hours/salary, we are doing our best to protect the churches financially so we can continue to operate now, and when the stay-at-home orders end. The diocese has instructed all parishes apply for the federal loans being made available for small businesses, which in the recent Cares Act legislation includes churches and non-profits. We hope to receive funding from those loans soon. If we receive these funds and use them as directed they will be forgiven.
The priests continue to say private Mass everyday and are remembering you in our prayers. Thank you so much for the prayers and support you have given us during this trying time – may God bless you abundantly!
Gratefully in Christ,
A Special Note from Fr. John Skirtich
