Live Streamed Mass

 

Mass Update

The obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains dispensed for the time being while we slowly resume the public celebration of Mass. This is recognition of the fact that seating will initially be limited at each celebration of Mass due to the state’s requirements for social distancing and other health mandates. It also recognizes that the elderly, and most vulnerable, should remain sheltered at home for the time being. For this reason, we will continue to live stream the celebration of Mass while public worship slowly resumes.
 
We will continue to offer daily Mass at 8:30am in the church and via livestream on our Public Facebook page and website.  You do not need to have a Facebook account to view the livestream and can find our page at www.facebook.com/St.Elizabeth.Seton.Parish.Ridgefield/.
 
Weekend Masses will be held on Saturday at 5pm (livestreamed) and on Sunday at 8:00am, 9:30am (livestreamed) and 11:30am.
 
State and the Diocesan guidelines clearly state that only 50 people can gather in the church for any public service. 
 
Simulcast is offered in the Jubilee Memorial Lobby for an additional 10 people and in McKeon Hall for 40 people.  Anyone registered to attend in the Lobby or the Hall must bring his/her own chair.
 
Social distancing will be strictly enforced, and all must wear facial masks.
 
Bathrooms will remain closed and unavailable during services.
 
People must observe social distancing,and wear a mask when lining up for communion.
 
People are strongly encouraged to receive communion in their hand, not on their tongue for obvious reasons.  Masks must be worn until it is time to consume the holy eucharist.
 
There will be a collection basket as you come into mass.  Please drop your envelope or your contribution in the collection basket.
 
Worship aids will not be provided.  You may download the Readings and Responsorial Psalm to your smart phone or electronic device ahead of time and bring it to Mass with you if you would like to follow along.  
 
All Masses require a reservation.  Please use the links above to sign up or call the office and leave a message on the Mass reservation voicemail.

Then call the office to make an appointment to be personally welcomed by our Pastor, Father Joseph A. Prince. One must be an active, registered parishioner to receive an eligibility certificate to act as a sponsor for Baptism or Confirmation. Please notify the office if you move and/or change your telephone number. If you are using the downloaded form - be sure to save it and print it out.

Parish Nurse Corner

Medical Symbol“You understand, O Lord, remember me and care for me.”  ~Jeremiah 15:15

Pills are often considered the first line of defense but with colds and flu, they will not help since antibiotics are for bacterial infections only and cold/flu germs are viral infections. Some think antibiotics help with symptoms but inappropriate use of medication only trains germs to become drug resistant. This means that when you do need the drug, it will be ineffective and you will need a more expensive, stronger drug – if one is available. Whenever you do receive a prescription, use it as directed and complete the course to be sure to kill all the bacteria in your system. Using your meds incorrectly only hurts you physically and financially.
