June 19, 2020Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As you no doubt are aware, there has been a spike in Covid-19 cases. Please remember that the Sunday Mass obligation is temporarily suspended for everyone. I especially urge those who are classified in the CDC Guidelines as vulnerable (age 65+ or with a chronic health condition) to remain at home and let the Church come to you through technology. Hopefully our fast from full Church participation will soon come to a close. The Church loves you and only wants you to be safe and well.
Also, if your personal financial situation has not been harmed then please keep up your generous support of your parish. Keeping utilities paid and providing for our employees and ministers is crucial.
Your devotion to Christ and His Church moves me deeply. Know that the people of the Diocese are daily in my prayers.
