Fr. Jose Kandathikudy will be the main celebrant for the Feast of St. Alphonsa. Jose Achan is retiring from active service from the diocese/ St. Thomas Church, Bronx. Achan will be moving to Virginia. We are blessed and happy to have Jose Achan celebrate this Holy Mass with us.
According to the protocol we are allowed to have only 25% of our occupancy (110 people) in the church. In order to make the seating arrangements we would like to get a headcount of the members attending the Feast. Please let us know whether you will be attending the Feast of St. Alphonsa through your ward leaders. Further details will be given through ward group messages. Please respond to the messages.
Since we are not allowed to have social gatherings, nercha ( pothi choru) will be distributed to take home on the day of Feast.
We will continue our daily Mass schedule as usual.
Please see the following Mass schedule:
Monday – Friday: 6:00PM
Saturday: 9:00AM
Sunday: 11:00 AM (NOT at 10:30AM)
Please comply with the following guidelines to ensure everyone's safety:
1. You must wear a mask (bring your own mask) all the time while you are in the church including while going to receive the Holy Communion
2. Sanitize your hands before you enter the church. Church will provide the hand sanitizer
3. Keep six-foot social distancing at the church and we must stay within the limit of 100 people for the Mass.
4. After each Mass the pews will be disinfected.
5. There won't be any social gathering, food or coffee at the social hall.
If you have any health concerns, we encourage you to refrain from coming to the church.
All the Masses will be live-streamed at the same time when the Mass is celebrated. (Monday-Friday at 6PM, Saturday at 9AM and Sunday at 11AM)
Please keep our nation and our healthcare and frontline workers in your prayers.
Stay Safe and Healthy.
