Celebration of Masses at Resurrection  & PARISH MINISTRIES During covid-19 Pandemic

My dear friends in Christ, we continue to acknowledge that all things are still fluid during the Co-vid pandemic and that flexibility, fidelity and patience is needed. We realize that it is the charity of Christ found in the Eucharist that continues to allow us to love God, our neighbor and ourselves.  As Cardinal Sara has appealed to us, “Return to the Eucharist with Joy!”

Mass schedule:  4:00pm on Saturdays and Sundays at 8:30am & 10:30am.   If you would like to assist in greeting, ushering or cleaning we could use the volunteers to keep everyone healthy and holy.

We are calling altar servers to assist at the altar once again as a sign of the calling that all of us have to serve Christ in the Holy Sacrifice.

For those who attend Mass on the parish website we will be distributing Communion after the Sunday 10:30am Mass.  Communion will then be distributed at approximately 11:30am. If you have any questions then please feel free to call the office at 603.882.0925.

• The Church will be open Monday-Thursday for the usually rosary and Morning prayer before Mass but will be closing at 1:00pm for our sexton to clean an disinfect the church each day.

• There will be Adoration on Wednesdays from 8:30am-12:00pm.The Adoration Chapel will be open for 2 people at a time, wearing masks and keeping social distance.They will be asked to disinfect the area where they wear praying.

• Please park your cars in the Coburn side parking lot and enter through the main doors only.

• Everyone must sanitize their hands and wear a mask during the Mass.

• Unfortunately, there will be no congregational singing or choral singing at this time.We are allowed one organist and one cantor.Therefore, hymnals and missalettes will not be available. There will be one lector, no altar servers and no processions.Likewise, there will be no exchange of the Sign of Peace.

 
I know that this is a lot of information but again I thank you for your flexibility, faith and patience.   I truly can’t wait to be with all of you at the Altar, my heart has longed for this as I’m sure yours has as well.  As I say to you this day and everyday, be holy and stay healthy.  – Father John

The Parish Office will be open from:

Monday-Thursdays: 8am-2:00pm. 

We will not be taking visitors however we will be here for phone calls, emails, and any questions you may have.  If you need to speak with Father John he will be available to you, just give a call to the office and he will schedule a time to meet with you.  If you need to be anointed you may continue to see him after every Mass or set up an appointment.  He is availble for  housecalls in case of emergencies and the need for the Last Rites.
 

PLEASE REMEMBER TO CONTINUE TO ASSIST YOUR PARISH THROUGH DONATIONS.

You may use Online Giving (if you don't know how just give Martha a call), through the mail or drop off at the Office mail slot. We appreciate the support you give to your parish at this time.  Our offertory is down over half each week so if you are able to continue your donations it would be helpful at this time.

As a reminder, if you are ill or extremely vulnerable to infection, please remain at home. You can keep the Sabbath day holy through your prayers, fasting, and following the Sunday Mass by reading the Scriptures or viewing Mass broadcasts from our parish or on EWTN or CatholicTV.
 
Keeping hands washed throughout the day is a simple and effective way to prevent the spread germs. If you have concerns or questions, please contact the parish office.
