Dear Parish Family,
As we progress through these difficult days of sickness and social isolation, I will keep posting various letters and communications here on our parish website.

In Jesus and Mary,

Coronavirus Precautions
Last Updated: March 19, 2020
ALERT
FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATIONAs of 4:15 p.m. today, March 17, 2020, Most Rev. Peter A. Libasci, Bishop of the Diocese of Manchester, has declared that Mass is no longer open to the general public given the serious conditions that have developed over the COVID-19 Pandemic. The encouragement to participate prayerfully in the Mass by means of broadcast is reiterated and is proposed as a priority in the home for the duration of this situation. The obligation to attend Mass on Sunday has been lifted. Although the public will not be able to attend Mass in our state, please know that pastors will be celebrating Mass in private each day for the scheduled Mass intentions.
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will still take place at Saint Kathryn Parish on Wednesdays and First Fridays. Adoration has been moved into the main church in order to allow for more space between parishioners.
Adoration and Vespers is cancelled on Sundays. There will also be no Vespers on Wednesday evenings; instead, Adoration will conclude with simple reposition of the Blessed Sacrament.Let us continue to pray with one heart for an end to this pandemic and for healing for all those afflicted.
View the Bishop's letter here.

Sunday, April 5th, is Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord. Remember to join us for Mass via livestream at 10:30 a.m., and perhaps place a green branch on your front door as we recall the Lord's entrance into Jerusalem. Blessed palms will be available in the church throughout Holy Week AFTER the 10:30 a.m. Palm Sunday Mass for anyone who wishes to take one from inside or outside the church. (Again, the church building must be locked during Mass at this time, so palms will not be available until afterwards when the building is unlocked again.) We recommend wiping the palm down with disinfectant as a safety practice should you choose to take one.Read More -

An Act of Spiritual Communion may be made when it is not possible to assist at Holy Mass:
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I 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.
