Dear Parish Family.

Since we opened our Church for Sunday Masses and witnessing everything going well, I was thinking of our First Holy Communion children and families. So last Tuesday I invited Deacon John and Diane for a meeting to explore ways in which we can celebrate First Holy Communion. We met in the church and discussed all possible ways. We have a culture of celebrating it in our weekend masses in May. This year, with Covid 19 and all the restrictions and health guidelines, I was open to celebrate it in special days and times even during week days which is safe and acceptable for our families. Finally I requested deacon John and Diane to find out from catechists and families their desires and possibilities.

After his consultation with catechists and families, Deacon John recommended that we hold off First Holy Communion until October, after Confirmation. I am very open to this recommendation to have it in October. If any family feels that they have a situation where they would prefer to have it sooner, please meet with me and I will be open to consider special situations.

It is a hard time for all of us. Let us put faith in God, pray always and stay united as one parish family.. Be safe and healthy. My prayers and blessings always.
Fr. Pancrose

     Many individuals and families have wandered away from their faith in God, or from involvement in the Catholic Church. Sometimes a simple invitation can lead them to return. Some might be in life situations that prevent them from fully participating in the sacramental life of the Church, and feel they are no longer welcome or allowed to be part of the parish family. They must be told this is not true. At St. Kateri Tekakwitha Parish All are Welcome! 
     If you know anyone who would like to be invited back to the Faith and to the Church, have them contact the Parish Office at 845-227-1710 x2. Also see:   www.catholicscomehome.org/
