恢復公開彌撒

在麻州恢復開放的第一個階段，我們非常高興地通知大家我們將於6月14日開始返回教堂參與彌撒啦！現在，彌撒只在主日上午10點舉行。停車場由上午9點至下午1點開放。我們按照貝克州長和波士頓總教區所制定的指導方針，勤奮而小心地向公眾打開我們的大門。這些指導方針將會被嚴格執行，此間，我們每人都肩負著保護自己與他人的安全與健康的責任和義務。樞機為那些不能親身參與彌撒的人延長了赦免期。我們建議凡65歲以上和任何有潛在健康問題的人在這個時候留在家裡，並繼續參與網絡彌撒與我們共同祈禱。在參與網絡彌撒後，如想領聖體，可於上午11點15分至中午12點，到聖雅各伯堂樓上聖堂恭領。

RESUMPTION OF PUBLIC MASS

It is with great joy as we begin Phase One of returning to Mass at St. James, scheduled for Jun 14! Right now, Masses will be held on Sundays only at 10 AM. Parking will be available from 9 AM to 1 PM. We are working diligently and carefully towards opening our doors for public worship on the guidelines set forth by both Gov. Baker and the Archdiocese of Boston. These guidelines will be STRICTLY enforced since we all have a role to play in keeping each other safe and healthy. The Cardinal has extended the dispensation. We recommend those 65 and older and anyone with underlying health conditions to stay home at this time, and to continue to attend Masses online praying in communion with us. After attending the online Mass, if so desired, you may come to St. James upper church to receive the Holy Communion between 11:15 AM and 12:00 NOON.

我們明白很多人經濟拮据不能參與，請你為此目標代禱，同舟共濟。

90-DAYS NOW – FOR YOUR PARISH

It is at times like these our faith reminds us that we are never truly alone, even as we face unprecedented challenges as a parish community. Though we are not able to join together in the celebration of the Eucharist, we continue daily to pray for the health of you and your loved ones.

I am reaching out to you about an effort created by a member of the laity with concern for our parishes during this time of crisis. It is a special, 90-day campaign that will provide offertory support directly to the parish.

This special initiative asks, if possible, for parishioners to rally around their parish by making a special daily offertory commitment for the next 90 days. This effort is intended to supplement weekly offertory gifts, given the challenges of the current crisis. Should you choose to join in this effort, the Archdiocese has created an easy-to-use link to donate.

The link is available by clicking this link: https://bcatholic.sites.bostoncatholic.org/90DaysYourParish

We are incredibly moved by this effort and forward this information for your consideration.

We understand many of you may not be able to contribute to this special offertory collection given the economic impact this pandemic has had on your personal finances. We remain extremely grateful for your prayers of support for our parish family.
