Covid-19 Update
As we enter into Phase 3 of Reopening RI, things
have changed in the church.
• More pews will be open
• Reservations will no longer be taken, it will be on a first-come, first-seated basis
• The side door on Saint Clare Way will now be open along with the courtyard door
• Lectors and Eucharistic Ministers will be reintroduced into Masses
• You must use hand sanitizer upon entering the church.
• You must wear a mask.
To keep our parish families safe, please keep a 6 foot distance between you and others when in line
for Communion and when exiting the church. If you would like to bring your own sanitizing wipes
to clean your area, please do so, let the usher or person at the door know you have your own wipes.
Covid has changed everything in our lives, but our
faith has remained strong. I thank you all for being so patient during
these trying times. God bless you.
CHRISTIAN HOSPITALITY
Day in and day out, we are required to make judgment calls informed by tough, durable, servicea-ble Christian love. We do what we can do, and God takes notice. God is in charge of rewards, and a glass of water will do when that is what we have to offer with a glad and open heart. Paul gives us a clear theology for the missionary work we do whenever anybody is close at hand. He reminds us that our work, our ministry, is carried on in concert with Christ. We have been baptized into his death and life. In any given moment both life and death are there, a kind of play of shadow and light. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell where shadow leaves off and light begins. God will take care of that, too.
