►BISHOP’S APPEAL 2021 - Dear parishioners, annually during the month of May we start to support a special Eparchial fundraising called the Charities Appeal {or Bishop’s Appeal}. Our parish’s goal for this year is to collect $ 5,800 to support the Stamford Eparchy in its charitable actions. Through your generosity we were always successfully to support our Stamford Eparchy. A special form for the Bishop’s Appeal will be included in the Summer Festival envelope and mailed to all parishioners. Thank you for your support!

►Homebound bulletin list: If you have older members of your family who are not able to come to church, I suggest that we include their names on the homebound list in our weekly church bulletin. The reason for this list is to let our parishioners know who is unable to come to church due to age or health conditions so that they may pray for them. This list also helps our parishioners know to call or reach out to them. In this way, the homebound will know that our church members pray for them, and be strengthened by this. Let me know is there is anyone I should include in this list by calling the parish office at (315) 252-5573.

► Sloatsburg Pilgrimage – The Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate joyfully announce the 67th Holy Dormition Pilgrimage, August 14-15, 2021 at their motherhouse in Sloatsburg, NY. The theme this year is: “Mary, Mother of the Savior & Joseph, Righteous Spouse, sustain us in God’s Providence”. This year during the Pilgrimage the participants will acknowledge and celebrate an important milestone in the Eparchy, the 50th Episcopal Ordination of his Excellency, Bishop Basil H. Losten. For additional information please visit the Sisters Servants webpage at: www.ssmi-us.org or call the parish office at (315) 252 5573.

► Masks: Dear parishioners, as you all know the CDC recently issued new protocols regarding the wearing of masks. Accordingly, people who are fully vaccinated are not required to wear masks in public or maintain social distancing. Those who are not vaccinated should continue to wear masks and social distance for their own safety. I am now inviting all our parishioners to attend church on a regular basis once again. Those who are fully vaccinated, but still want to wear masks, are welcomed to do so. Myself and the deacons will continue to wear masks during the distribution of the Holy Communion. May God bless and protect our parish community!
