At this time we are observing a regular Mass schedule, strictly following the New York State rules and instructions. May we remind you that there are 2 weekday masses, one in English at 8:30 in the morning and the other in Spanish at 6:45 in the evening. Weekend Masses schedule can be found here.
There are church pews marked with yellow tape to indicate that they cannot be used and others with blue tape, where seating is allowed. Family members living together can use the whole pew marked with the blue ribbon. If you come alone, you should sit preferably on one of the side pews, where two people can sit every other pew. We cannot enter the church without a mask on covering both the mouth and the nose.
The use of the church bathrooms is not recommended unless there is an emergency. It is also advisable to bring your own hand sanitizer.
It is strongly reccomended to receive Holy Communion in the hand rather that on the tongue.
