A Heart-Shaped Bouquet of Thanks!
"Have you noticed the beautiful flowers planted around the Blessed Virgin Mary statue in the center of the back parking lot? Did you notice that the statue has been recently cleaned and looks "freshened up?" Did you see the flowers in the planters at the church doors and in the circular garden bed on Old Road? Thanks to Doris Brissette, a parishioner, who has put in the time and effort to spruce up the church property. On behalf of all who enjoy and appreciate the work of your hands, a collective "thumbs up" for sharing your "green thumb" with us." ~ Fr. Forcier

Weekly Meditations from St. Teresa of Calcutta
"Some people come in our life as blessings. Some come in our life as lessons."
"Without a spirit of sacrifice, without a life of prayer, without an intimate attitude of penance, we we would not be capable of carrying out our work."
"When someone is doing something to hurt you, don't turn inward, turn toward that person. He is hurting himself. Learn to forgive, knowing that we all need forgiveness. If you want to be true to God, learn from Jesus to be meek, humble, and pure. Learn to forgive." -

In light of the updated health guidelines by the CDC, the Governor and the Rhode Island Department of Health, the following changes are in effect:
Indoor seating capacity is increased from 80% to 100% beginning Friday, May 21, 2021.
Fully vaccinated parishioners and church visitors are no longer required to wear a face mask indoors or outdoors
Those who are not fully vaccinated should continue to wear a face mask indoors.
Effective the weekend of June 5 & 6, 2021, Bishop Tobin has re-instated the obligation to attend Sunday Mass.
Daily Masses are offered at 7 AM (Monday thru Friday), Saturday at 8 AM (preceded by the praying of the Rosary at 7:30 AM). Masses are celebrated at 5 PM Saturday and 7 AM, 9:30 AM, 11:30 AM and 5:30 PM on Sunday.
- All doors of the church are open for entering and exiting.
- Holy water fonts are now full.
- A sign of peace can now be exchanged.
- The procession with the offertory (the gifts of bread & wine) has been restored. If it is your Mass intention, please feel free to bring the gifts up to the priest at the time of the offertory.
- All bathrooms are open and available for use.
- Holy Communion will be distributed in the CENTER and SIDE aisles at the usual time. The priests and the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion will be sanitizing before, during (if necessary) and after the distribution of Holy Communion. Those parishioners may come up, pew by pew, to receive Holy Communion as usual.
- Anyone with underlying health conditions or anyone manifesting symptoms of illness is advised NOT to attend the public celebration of Mass.
I appreciate your patience, prudence and flexibility. Thank you to EVERYONE who has returned to Mass and has been so adherent to the recommended guidelines. I will provide you any additional pertinent information as it is received. Thank you for all your support as we navigate this new normal, in faith and hope, together!
