                  Guidelines for Masses and Adoration
   Due to the Coronavirus, safety precautions need to be followed.
• Social distancing will be strictly enforced. (Note: It will be okay for
  couples and families to sit together.)
• Everyone who enters church MUST wear a face mask covering both
  nose and mouth.
• There will be no entrance procession for any Masses.
• There will be no holy water in the fonts. Please do not touch the
  statues or other devotional objects.
• There will be no missalettes, worship aids or other types of reading
  materials in the pews. You CAN bring your own worship aid, but must
  take it with you after Mass.
• There will be no Handshake of Peace during the Mass.
• Catholics at Mass should receive Holy Communion in the hand, not
  the tongue. There will be no distribution of the Precious Blood.
• Observe a social distance when processing up to receive Communion.
• Wear your mask when you receive the Sacred Host in your hand.
  Then use social distancing to move to the side, lift your mask and
  consume the Sacred Host before returning to your seat.
• Before and after Mass it is suggested that there be no gathering in
  groups to talk.
• Please do not come to church if you do not feel well. It is encouraged
  that our elderly and other high-risk parishioners remain at home.
=================================================
    For those who are not able to participate in person, the dispensation from the
           obligation to attend Mass remains in effect until further notice.
 Diocesan Masses will continue to be broadcast live on the Diocesan cable channel,
 NET-TV, and streamed online. NET-TV is available in the New York City market on
   Spectrum, channel 97; Optimum, channel 30; and Fios by Verizon, channel 48.

                                        desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at
                                       this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least
                                         spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You
                                        were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
                                         Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
