I do not think most of us have experienced anything like the current disruptions of life that Coronavirus has brought us to

Dear Parishioners: The Archdiocese of New York informed me last night that we CAN NOT bless and distribute palms this Sunday. I am sorry that I announced something different on Sunday. Father Tom Estimados feligreses: La Arquidiócesis de Nueva York me informó anoche que NO podemos bendecir y distribuir palmas este domingo. Lamento haber anunciado algo diferente el domingo. Padre Tom

As was announced last week, all Masses in the Archdiocese of New York will be canceled for the time being due to continued concern surrounding the coronavirus, and at the advice of medical experts. In light of these developments, members of the faithful may wish to observe Sunday as a day of prayer in the following ways:

The parish office will be open Monday - Friday from 10am - 2pm for essential items only. The parish will be closed at all other times including evenings and weekends. In case of an emergency outside of office hours you can contact Fr. Tom at 617-794-3927.

The irony of this time when we cannot gather for the celebration of the Eucharist is that I feel a far greater desire to be close to Jesus and close to you even when we are physically separated.
