We have been noticing more and more parishioners being comfortable in returning to Mass on the weekends. Thanks to so many of you being vaccinated, and the virus subsiding, this good news should continue. As we return to a more normal look and feel for Mass, some needs will become apparent. Those who wish to serve our community as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion or lectors or ushers, please contact Deacon John and let him know. If you have previously served in any of these roles at Christ the Redeemer, we would be pleased to include you and have you continue your ministry. We will look to have ushers in place by September, so that the standard collection routine can be restored. There are several Masses where the need is great.
For now, all those who have been fully vaccinated are not required to wear masks in church, those not fully vaccinated are asked to wear masks at this time. We all look forward to the day when the pandemic is in the rearview mirror only, but for now we will slowly return the parish to a normal pattern of worship. We thank you all for your patience and prayers during this time and promise always to treat you with the care and concern all God’s children deserve. A parish financial report will come later in July, thank you for your continued generosity. God bless you all.
