Welcome to each of you! As we come together for the celebration of Mass this weekend, we rejoice and give thanks to God. It is our own Pentecost too – the doors are open, and we are mandated to go to proclaim the goodness of the Lord and give our hands and hearts to join the work of the Holy Spirit in renewing the face of the earth. This Pentecost even though it is joyful, at the same time, it is also challenging. This physical proclamation due to the pandemic calls for extra precaution. 
 
As we rejoice in seeing each other, and worshiping together, we must be mindful of the well-being of all gathered. So please, bear with us in following the protocols and the direction of our ushers and greeters. Your cooperation in this and the cleaning of your personal space will hopefully minimize the likelihood of problems. Many hands make for light work.
