We find ourselves at an odd crossroads in this time of self-isolation. On the one hand, every day still seems to bring new updates and new policies. On the other hand, we are all beginning to face the reality that this period of isolation will likely last through April and possibly into May. Many of us have struggled to create a “new normal” while everything remains in flux, and yet we know that we need to establish some form of routine for our own sanity.
I know that many of you have made the parish part of your new daily routine by tuning in to our daily Masses and Holy Hours. I am deeply grateful that you have done so, and I pray that God is giving you innumerable graces through your daily (remote) participation in our communal prayer. This is not the Lent that any of us wanted, but I am starting to believe that it is going to have been one of the most personally fruitful Lents I have ever experienced. God really can use anything for His good!
This letter only contains updates, so I encourage you to look back at past Coronavirus letters posted on our parish website for additional information about our parish’s response.
