Until the installation of a permanent livestream camera, the sound quality may be different because we’re using both the house audio and a direct feed into the iPad. Also, because we now have folks in the building there will be no music at the Mass for at least a few weeks. FInally, this is an edited version combining two videos so parts of the 1st Reading and Psalm were lost.

We thank you for your understanding.

As you can see St. Mary's Church is ready for opening this weekend!

Please remember to use a mask or face covering and bring your own hand sanitizer. 

Remember when you see an X it will mark the spot where
no one is supposed to sit.

Bathrooms will be available for emergency use only and there will be no admittance to the cry room. Thanks for your patience and understanding. See you in Church! (physically or virtually)

As you know, we are preparing for our limited re-opening beginning this Saturday, May 30. We know many of you are excited about returning to public celebrations of the Mass, but we must also remember that we are not back to normal yet and that the virus is still a real and present threat. We all must work together to make this as safe as possible.. 
We are reaching out today because we have two very specific needs right now.

First, we are in need of volunteers to help serve as usher/greeters at each Mass. The responsibilities will be counting the number of people entering to ensure we don't go over our capacity of 100,  making sure everyone is wearing masks or facial coverings, and directing/escorting them to available seating. Second, we are also looking for Lectors to step forward and volunteer to serve in the ministry of proclaiming the Word of God at our weekend Liturgies.

Volunteers for any ministry, during this time of uncertainty, should be in good health and not part of the high risk groups outlined by the CDC (older adults and persons with pre-existing medical conditions or compromised immune systems). 

If you are interested and able, please let us know either through email at pastoralassociate@ccnbn.org or by calling the Collaborative Central Office at 508-995-3593 as soon as you can, and what Mass(es) you would be available to serve at.

Stay safe, stay healthy!
God Bless
Fr. John and Msgr. Oliveira
