Message from Father Mozer - Update Nine - St. Mary Parish

As we continue to reach out to the people of our parishes and others, please know you are invited to consider the following activities and updates. We are reaching out primarily online to connect with those who are staying home as much as possible, but our churches continue to be open for those who wish to visit for peace and personal prayer.

1. Our priests are celebrating daily Masses and the Sunday liturgy online (many of which are live on Facebook). You are invited to participate - go to www.pwc.church and click on Masses Online.

2. This Weekend:

•   Both St. Martha and St. Mary churches are open during the weekend if you want to visit in the morning or afternoon for personal prayer and to be with Christ in the Tabernacle.
•   Saturday evening: Sunday Mass from St. Martha church will be posted online (next weekend it will be from St. Mary church)
•   Sunday morning: Adoration at St. Martha 8-Noon, reflective music at St. Mary 9:30-11:30am.
•   Online Holy Hour in a Pandemic: Live Sunday 7pm please join us as we pray for healthcare workers' and scientists in our communities and all throughout the world.

3. This Week:

•   St. Mary church is open 8:30am-3pm all week, Tuesday until 8pm and Friday until 4:30pm

•   Wednesday: Rosary Online Live 7:30pm

4. Continuing Our Lenten Charity: please don’t forget to continue contributing to your Rice Bowls (St. Mary) or Lenten Baby Bottles (St. Martha), especially any savings from what you sacrificed during this holy season. (We will give instructions for returning them later.) We believe both town Food Pantries are still receiving donated groceries as well.

5. Supporting Your Parishes: when there is no basket to pass parish income will be devastated, but if more of you are able to continue to make your contributions, that will help us tremendously in paying the bills. Unless your own income has dropped, please continue your regular parish contributions in one of these ways:

•   click for our Online Giving service, which offers either recurring or one-time donations
•   use your bank’s bill payment service by going on their website or calling the bank
•   submit your contributions by check through the mail
•   drop off your contributions: under St. Martha sacristy door or in St. Mary office mail slot

Your parish family thanks you!

As a reminder, if anyone is in a serious health crisis, please call as soon as possible for a priest to visit: 508-384-3373 and press “2” for Sacramental emergency.
God bless and keep in touch with us and your neighbors!
