Bishop Caggiano has announced that beginning May 21st, we will be able to begin the outdoor public celebration of Mass. As of June 13th, parishes will be able to resume public worship inside our church. In those parishes that are ready to follow our established norms, the celebration of weekday Masses, Funeral Masses, and Nuptial Weddings within our Churches may also resume after the weekend of June 13th and June 14th.

Messages From Bishop Caggiano

As Christians we know that suffering will always be a part of our life. We understand and accept this mystery at the foot of the Cross of Christ. Yet we also know that the Lord suffered and died so that we might live and share in His victory over fear, suffering, and death itself. We are never alone in our sufferings. Christ is here to lead us along paths unknown to victory and life.

This is the time to do as Jesus commanded: to be brave despite fear, to be sensitive and responsive to the needs of others, and to pray. Especially pray. The health and life of so many now hang in the balance. Pray for miracles both medical and spiritual. Pray for the conversion of many hearts. Pray for an end to this scourge in our midst. Pray that the Lord will see us to safety and renewed life. In Him.
