Oh, what a Happy Times!  To continue to give thanks to God for the gift of our lives and for all his goodness he has bestowed on us, that now our parishes are 100% open and operational.
 Meaning;- 

•  Masks are not required for fully-vaccinated individuals during mass service.
• There is no social distancing during the mass services, all Pews are opened. 

But as we are fully opened for Mass services, I kindly urge you to be mindful of those who will still be coming to Mass wearing masks. Let us not assume that everyone is ready to be shoulder-to-shoulder just yet. We don't know what's going on in people's lives, so let’s offer respect and courtesy to one another.

As I mentioned last Sunday, during the sign of peace during mass celebration, let us be respectful to one another especially those who may still be uncomfortable with physical sign of peace, for now physical sign of peace, is optional, therefore a nod to one’s neighbors is sufficient... DON’T TAKE IT PERSONAL.

Once again, I thank all the volunteers who has continued helping in keeping our church clean and safe for all our worships.( Funerals, weddings, daily/Sunday masses)  May the good Lord bless the work of your hands.
                                    Always in prayers 
                                                Fr. John

          Pope Francis on Tuesday announced a special year dedicated to St. Joseph starting from 8 December 2020 until 8 December 2021, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the proclamation of St. Joseph as the Patron of the Universal Church, as well as the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady.
            The Apostolic Penitentiary also issued a decree granting special indulgences for the duration of the special year to celebrate the anniversary and “to perpetuate the entrustment of the whole Church to the powerful patronage of the Custodian of Jesus.
            During this period, the faithful will have the opportunity to commit themselves “with prayer and good works, to obtain, with the help of St. Joseph, head of the heavenly Family of Nazareth, comfort and relief from the serious human and social tribulations that besiege the contemporary world today.                               St. Joseph pray for us.
