Each day during Lent, the Miraculous Medal Shrine will release video reflections that feature men and women from all walks of life, discussing how prayer has led to personal growth and change. These stories will show if we’re open to personal reflection and open communication with God, our lives will be transformed in unpredictable ways. We’ll experience a deeper peace, a stronger sense of purpose, and sense of personal and communal well-being.

All are invited to join the Miraculous Medal Shrine for this journey of faith. The videos will be posted each day during Lent at
https://miraculousmedal.org/lent-2021/

Praise God! Our churches have reopened for the celebration of Mass and reception of Holy Eucharist.
Here is some helpful information:

We will have all Masses (Saturday 4 PM and Sunday 8:30 AM, 11 AM, and 5 PM). The 4 PM will be live-streamed, posted on the website, and available throughout the weekend.

The Church is being cleaned and sanitized.

Masks are required at all times when inside St. Madeline Church.

You will need to distance at least 6 feet, except for families. Pews will be distanced so that there will be 3 empty pews between the pew marked with “green” tape for sitting.

The priest and 3 Eucharistic Ministers will distribute Communion to single lines, with distancing. While our guidelines said that we do not have to wear masks, we will be wearing them. The guidelines say that we should not wear gloves. The priest is to use soap and water before Mass. The EMs will sanitize before Communion. We will all sanitize after. Approach the Communion Minister with face-covering in place. Receive the Host in your hand. The Communion Minister is not to touch the communicant. Step to the side (6-feet away; blue tape marked on floor). Remove face covering, consume the Host, and reposition face covering. Return to the pew. Communion is only distributed on the hand.

Play it safe and stay home if you are anxious, sick, elderly, etc. Everyone is still dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass.

“Sanitary Wipes” – we do have these in Church in some pews. You may bring your own or consider donating a container. If you are able, please wipe down your pew and areas that you touched.

“Volunteers” for 3 Church entrances (main and 2 front sides). We need individuals/couples to be outside, or inside, before Mass to help people or answer questions regarding masks, pews, safety procedures. Please contact Eileen Boyle (preprus@comcast.net) or Father Flanagan (frjflanagan@comcast.net).
