Church of Saint Michael

CONFESSION AND COMMUNION

We remind all parishioners, especially those planning to attend Mass, that in order to be properly disposed to receive Communion, one should not be conscious of grave sin and should have abstained for one hour from any food or drink, with the exception of medicine or water. A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord without prior sacramental Confession, except for a grave reason where there is no opportunity for Confession. Now that churches have reopened, you are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to receive the sacrament of Confession and the graces it offers.

   WELCOME BACK

Join us in celebrating Mass as one community this Sunday. In light of the recent easing of Covid 19 restrictions by New York State, we can now consider the meaningful “reopening and return” of our parishes. We thank God for getting us through these past fourteen months and hope that, very soon, we will be able to close the chapter on this pandemic and return to our normal way of life.
   Now it’s time to get back to Mass in person. Cardinal Timothy Dolan writes: “We recognize Jesus at Mass and Holy Communion. We enter again the eternal, infinite mystery of His death on the cross and resurrection from the dead. Every Sunday Mass is a renewal of the Last Supper, Good Friday and Easter. It’s time to get back to Sunday Mass!”
