ST. PATRICK'S IS OPEN FOR MASSES Saturday 4:30 p.m. Sunday: 8:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., and 5:00 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Daily Masses: 4:30 p.m. (no 8:30 a.m. Mass)
(We decided to move our daily masses from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to ac-commodate those who were not able to attend Weekend Masses and give ample time to disinfect the church in case of funerals).
We encourage parishioners and visitors age 65+, those with underlying
health conditions or if you do not feel well to remain home and continue to
watch our masses live streamed online at both Saturday 4:30 p.m. and
Sunday 10:00 a.m.
If you do not feel comfortable coming back to Mass just yet, that is also fi-
ne. The suspension of the obligation to come to church continues to be in
effect. Just stay home.
If you think that you could have been exposed unwilling to Covid-19 even if
you have no symptoms, please stay home and continue to worship with us
via live stream.
Important: "Let us know” if you are planning to attend Weekend Mass due
to the restricted numbers of parishioners we can accommodate.
Go to the mystpatricks.com home page find the sign up and
click on it.
You can also email [email protected] or call (508) 234-5656 by
Thursday Noon.
There is no need to “Let us know” if you are planning to attend daily Masses.
Prior to coming to Church
June 14, 2020 The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
Enter through the Chapel
• Wearing a mask is mandatory, unless you have a medical condition, when inside of the Church.
• Bring your own hand sanitizer if you can.
• Follow the instructions of the Greeter for seating. Individuals will be seated 6 feet apart while
families can sit in one pew together. Unfortunately, you may not be in your “normal” seat.
• No Bulletins will be handed out but will be available online.
• Sing in your heart as it is recommended that we not sing in Church. Our music ministry will sing
for us.
• Remain in the pews for Communion. A Eucharistic Minister will come to you. When you receive
the host in your hand, consume it after the Eucharistic Minister has moved on to the next person.
• Collection baskets will not be passed during mass. You will see baskets at the entrances of the
church for your donations.
• When leaving the church keep 6 feet apart from others.
• If you attend mass and then test COVID positive, it would be very much appreciated if you would
let Fr. Tomasz know, so we can confidentially inform and make parishioners aware someone
who attended the same mass as they had have tested positive. You can do so confidentially.
Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.
We are looking forward to seeing you!

Garden Conversations
“And the Lord God planted a garden” – Book of Genesis
To date the St. Patrick’s Community Garden has produced over 18lbs of produce for families in need. This is in large part due to all of the volunteers who took the time to nurture the plants with love, prayers, and advice. Over 15 families have donated more than 40 hours of time and several others have donated plants, treasure, and materials to make this a success and a big THANK YOU is in order. It has been truly a blessing to see so many of you stopping by to say a prayer or staying for a picnic lunch with your children and grandchildren. Especially during these times of social distancing, we look for opportunities to safely get outdoors with our kids and loved ones. Please remember that this space is there for all of us to share and you are welcome. What I love about the St. Patrick’s Community Garden is the opportunity for conversations. Just the other day I had the good fortune to work with a friend and fellow garden committee member. We laughed (which was hard due to both of us wearing masks) and shared stories about our families, current events, and what is the right way to plant winter squash. We harvested lettuce together and marveled at the color of God’s creation. It was a wonderful day, challenging on our backs and legs, but still beautiful. For the record, I played the part of Gilhooly from Donovan’s Reef, while my friend did the really heavy lifting. Still, I am grateful for the time spent with them and the laughs we had over bush beans, squash, and whatever that bug was we found. Imagine the conversations that can be had and will be had by everyone who participates in this project. The great gift of time spent with loved ones, while working for others who are in need. Teaching our children, grandchildren, and ourselves how to care for God’s creation whether it be green beans or people. It draws us closer to God and helps us to fulfill the promise of the Gospel. We still have much to do and many more wonderful conversations to be had. Would you join us? With school coming to a close and the long summer holiday before us, perhaps God is calling you and your family to help out at the St. Patrick’s Community Garden. If you would like to help, please know that any time or treasure you can donate will be greatly appreciated. Donations can be made online as we seek to improve the garden in the years to come. If you would like to donate your time, even if you are unsure of your gardening talents, please give us a call at the rectory. Thank you again to all who have donated so much of themselves to this venerable project and may God continue to bless you and us all. With Garden Blessings, Deacon Chris

Some Facebook posts from Fr. Tomasz
For God so loved the world that he created you and me. The best way to solve problems is always to start to listen to one another. Faced with injustice, Jesus promoted neither passivity nor violence. He engaged in the third way: non-violent resistance.
