The Lord has Risen, Alleluia!

Yesterday afternoon, we received information from Bishop DiMarzio regarding the process of reopening the parishes of the Brooklyn Diocese. This information laid out a four-phase plan of slowly opening the Churches until we are able to celebrate Masses in community again. The first phase, the restricted opening of Churches for private prayer only, can begin on Tuesday, May 26th, 2020. After careful consultation with our staff, and working closely with the guidelines set by the Bishop, we have determined that we are unable to open on that date. There is a great deal of work that needs to be done to prepare the Church for opening it to the public so as to make it follow proper sanitary guidelines. We believe, however, that we can complete this work and have the Church ready to open on Monday, June 1st, 2020. Please understand that the experience in the Church will be very different compared with what it was before we closed. Please read the following changes that have been implemented by us and the Bishop
