Letter From the Rector and Vestry
Dear Parishioners and Friends,
It is with great joy and anticipation that we announce the re-opening of our church and RE-GATHERING FOR WORSHIP!
Please consider joining us on Sunday, September 6, 2020 at 8 AM or 10:30 AM
as we joyfully open our big red doors to welcome you!
Included with this announcement, you will find our Plan for Re-Gathering. This plan, which adheres to Diocesan guidelines, and has been approved by our Bishop and endorsed by your vestry, articulates the protocols and procedures that we will practice so safely to gather for worship. In addition to this plan, Bishop Mariann has provided us, as an expression of our Baptismal commitment, with a Covenant for Re-Gathering in Worship. You are requested, after prayerful consideration, to sign it to express your agreement. Please bring it with you when returning to church or by mailing it to the Parish Office. During this phase of re-opening, our gathering will be that of the celebration of the Mass (and the Annual Parish Meeting scheduled for Sunday, September 13). Other activities, such as the Parish Picnic, have been suspended at this time.
I encourage those who regularly attend our 10:30 AM Mass, to take advantage of our easy-to-use reservation system. A link to the reservation website will be provided in next week’s newsletter. You may also call the Parish Office at (202) 347-8161 to make a reservation by telephone. Please remember, a reservation is NOT required to attend any of our services, but we encourage you to do so. Making a reservation will greatly assist our ushers to welcome your return. If, for whatever reason, you have not made a reservation, no worries! We will have a place for you and we rejoice to be together.
Some members of our parish community may not be comfortable in returning for in-person worship at this time, and this decision is understandable and respected. So that we might make more manifest the communion between us, we will live-stream (broadcast) the 10:30 Mass. Additionally, we can bring Communion to your home. Please contact the Parish Office so that Deacon Mary may schedule a Eucharistic visitor to visit, pray, or simply to deliver the Holy Eucharist to your home. Our Lord, in His great goodness and mercy, is very flexible!
In communion of prayer with all of you, we are
Yours in Christ,
The Reverend Dominique Peridans
