Easter holy water
-
As Easter is a traditional time for Baptisms of Adults entering the Church and for all of us a time to remember our Baptism, we have traditionally blessed new Holy Water on Easter.
This Easter Water is now available for our parishioners to use at home in the entryway of the Parish Center. The inside doors of the Parish Center will still be locked, but the outer doors are open during business hours (9 A.M. to 5 P.M.) Monday through Friday.
We ask that everyone who comes to get Holy Water respect the principle of social distancing. For example, if there is someone filling their Holy Water bottles ahead of you, please wait outside the building until they are done before you enter the entry way. The entry is a very small, confided space, and we do not want people to gather in it. Also please follow all directions posted near the Holy Water concerning hand sanitization and sanitizing the Holy Water dispenser. We all need to do our part in preventing the spread of the Coronavirus.

In addition, the usual requirements of going to Confession and receiving Holy Communion are allowed to be delayed due to their difficulty.

My Jesus, I believe that you are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I long for you in my soul. Since I cannot now receive you Sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though you have already come, I embrace you and unite myself entirely to you; never permit me to be separated from you.
