GUIDELINES FOR THE CELEBRATION OF
LITURGIES IN OUR CHURCHES
The
State of New York, following recommendations from the CDC, lower
rates of infection and higher numbers of people being vaccinated
against COVID-19, has relaxed many of the restrictions which were in
place. Because of that, with the pastoral care of the people of
Brooklyn and Queens in mind, Bishop DiMarzio issued the
following guidelines:
Our Churches are open to full 100% capacity.
Use hand
sanitizer is still required. Sanitizer stations are at the
entrance of the church.
Hymnals
and missalettes can once again be used.
For
safety and proper hygiene, the Precious
Blood of Christ may not be administered to the congregation.
Properly
trained Parishioners (Readers) may resume proclaiming the Sacred
Scriptural Readings at Mass, and (Extraordinary Ministers of Holy
Communion) may distribute Communion at Mass (as required by the
Pastor) and make homebound visits with permission of the
Communicant.
Holy
water fonts should not be filled as yet.
Thank
you all for your patience during the past year.

Father
Lambert asks you to spend a few minutes viewing a short film entitled The
Veil Removed located at TheVeilRemoved.com .
This 7-minute video is beautifully made and
performed taking you into the true mystery of the Most Holy Sacrament of
the Altar. Having viewed it several times, I find myself yearning more
and more for Whom we often take for granted - Christ Jesus.
Give it a view, pass it on to your family and
friends, and reflect on that precious Gift we long to have by an Act of
Spiritual Communion.
God's infinite love and grace will get us through this crisis!
Please Pray for
Pope Francis and
Bishop Robert Brennan
