Update on Parish Response to Coronavirus – March 15, 2020

Given the continuing and growing concern about the spread of the coronavirus, Bishop DiMarzio has determined that all public Masses be cancelled in the Diocese of Brooklyn beginning Monday, March 16, until further notice. This includes weekday Masses as well as Sunday Masses.

Funerals and weddings will be permitted but should be limited to family members only. Parish baptism celebrations should be limited to family only, if they cannot be postponed.

In accordance with the Bishop’s guidance, all public Masses and other in-person parish activities are cancelled.

  1. We will have a private Mass on Sunday at 11:15 AM that people can stream or dial in to. Below are further details about how to join the remote events via Zoom or by phone. Wherever possible we will use the same Zoom meeting for parish events. A recorded version will also be available on our website for later viewing.
  2. On weekdays, the church will still be open for Eucharistic Adoration and private prayer from 9 a.m. to noon, but we will not hold public weekday Masses.
  3. Other parish events will proceed on a remote-only basis, including Tuesday’s RCIA class, Thursday’s discussion group with Grace Church, and our Sunday faith sharing groups.
Until further notice, the Parish will stream a Sunday 11:15 AM Mass and other parish events live via Zoom. [Zoom dial-in info removed from website for security reasons]
