**Update 6/26/2020:
My dear brothers and sisters of St Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church, I would like to encourage all of you to be very thoughtful about the decision to come to Mass this weekend in light of the increase in the number of infections and hospitalizations due to covid-19. If anyone has any anxiety whatsoever about coming to Mass and fears possible exposure to the virus, please remain at home. Most of you are aware that the obligation to attend Mass has been suspended at least until the end of the month of August. Our Bishop is also asking, I should say pleading, that all persons coming to Mass wear masks. Please, use good judgment. We will continue to pray for each and every one of the members of the parish and your families and we ask that you pray for all of us, as well, here at the parish and for all those who will be Celebrating the Eucharist with us. God bless all of you. Fr. Emilio
Update 5/25/2020:
My dear Brothers and Sisters of St. Mary, Star of the Sea,
I would like to inform you that our Saturday 5pm Mass and our Sunday 9:30am Mass are not full even at the 50% allowance with social distancing seating. It is for this reason that the 11:30am Mass will remain suspended until further notice. This is not a time for having Masses of convenience. I know that many of you still don't feel safe and this is to be understood and respected. Please trust your own judgment and return when you feel safe. God bless all of you and stay safe and healthy. Thank you. Fr. Emilio
Update 4/24/2020:
Beginning Monday April the 27th, the church will be open Mondays through Saturdays from 9am to 4pm. All social distancing rules are to be followed and respected. No one is to approach another person while they are in prayer and on the church grounds but are to abide strictly to the social distancing standards. We welcome everyone to come to make personal visits with Our Lord Jesus and to pray for an end to the current crisis and a return to our regular way of life. God bless all of you!________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
