Sacrament of BaptismRegistered parishioners who plan to have their baby baptized should notify the parish office at the beginning of the pregnancy and register for Baptism Preparation, which is held monthly. One godparent must be Catholic, at least 16 years of age, registered in the parish where he lives, fully initiated (received the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and First Communion), and Catholic in good standing (e.g., married in the Catholic Church, participating in Sunday Mass). He must obtain a letter of eligibility from his current parish. One practicing non-Catholic Christian may also be admitted as a Christian Witness. These classes are cancelled until further notice. Once Mass suspensions are over, we will resume our normal Baptism preparations and scheduling. Of course in case of an emergency, call the parish office.Sacrament of Marria eCouples planning to marry should contact the Parish Office six months prior to the wedding date.

The coronavirus pandemic has forced thou-sands of pilgrims to leave the Holy Land and now pilgrims are banned from visiting until further notice. The cancelation of pilgrimag-es will have serious repercussions for many

Christian families. The pandemic measures have affected all busi-ness sectors and everything to shut down. Even we as the Bethle-hem Christian Families group; are unable to lend them a hand dur-ing this difficult time because of the closures here in the U.S. Since we can’t see you at your parish we humbly ask you to visit our web-site www.holylandcarvings.com and browse through their beauti-ful hand carved religious items. We value your support through these unprecedented times. May God bless you and keep you safe.

The Memorial Day Mass at St. Mary’s

Catholic Cemetery has been cancelled

due to restrictions and safety precautions necessary during this time. We wish everyone a safe and blessed Memorial Day as we honor those who have served and died for our country and freedom.
