Entrance through the Church is through the main door only with a strict cutoff of 25% capacity allowed. All precautions must be taken (wearing masks, maintaining a six-foot distance, no physical contact except for Communion, frequent washing of hands and sanitizing surfaces) must be observed.
Also, those who are at a greater risk of COVID-19 (those older than 65
or have underlying health conditions) are cautioned not to come to the Church for Mass. They may join when they feel safe and comfortable to
do so. His Eminence has dispensed them from an obligation to attend Sunday Mass at this time. As an alternative, Mass may be watched on
line or on TV, and make the act of spiritual Communion instead of receiving the Eucharist.

Prayer for Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there
And unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.
CONGRATULATIONS COMMUNICANTS!
Congratulations to Mrs. Love’s and Ms. Sandoval-Ruiz’s classes

WEEKLY COLLECTIONS
Please continue to support Holy Rosary Parish during this time
of crisis. The best way for our congregation to sustain the
parish is by using the PARISH GIVING online giving service.
You can imagine how much it would mean to the Parish to
receive some stream of income during these times when
collections are not being taken up manually.
You may click on the "Parish Giving" logo above.
Sign up to support Holy Rosary Parish.
Of course, dropping off your envelope at the Rectory or
sending it in by mail is always an option. You may also drop your
donations in the safe located at the back of the Church.
Thank you and God bless all of you and keep you safe.

My dear Parishioners of Holy Rosary Church,
I offer the Holy Mass every day for your intentions. Announced Mass intentions, previously accepted before the pandemic, were celebrated as private Masses, including Saturday and Sunday intentions.
Confessions are now heard on Saturdays in the Chapel to observe social distancing along with all State PPE requirements. Parishioners are asked to wear masks entering the Church. Confessions on Saturdays are from 9:00am to 9:30am and 4:00pm to 4:45pm.
Friends, remember that Jesus Christ came as Emmanuel to be with us. He lives with you and within you. He who is in you is greater than anything outside of you. (1 Jn 4:4ff).
May God bless you through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Sebastian
During these difficult days,
please take good care of yourself and
let’s be sure to pray for one another
Prayer to the Virgin Mary for Protection
O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey
as a sign of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick.
At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain,
with steadfast faith.
You, Our Lady of New York, know what we need.
We are certain that you will provide, so that,
as you did at Cana of Galilee,
joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform ourselves to the Father’s will
and to do what Jesus tells us:
He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our
sorrows to bring us,
through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.
We seek refuge under your protection,
O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test –
and deliver us from every danger,
O glorious and blessed Virgin.
We ask God to protect our frontline workers.
We ask God to give them strength and
endurance for the long hours they need to work.
We ask God to comfort them when they need
to spend time separated from their families or
need to self-quarantine because of risk of exposure.
For those on the frontlines, know that we are
praying for you. Start each day, each shift
knowing that we ask God for your protection
as you tend to and assist those in need.
