My dear brothers and sisters of St. Mary, Star of the Sea, parish, I pray that all of you are well. The parish will resume regular activities including Masses with morning Mass on Thursday, July 16 at 7:30 am followed by adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 8am-9am. The church has been completely sanitized and we will resume 5pm Mass on Saturdays and 9:30am Masses on Sunday. Even more now than ever I ask that everyone wear masks and maintain social distancing when coming to church. Please Do Not come to Mass if you are not feeling well, especially if you are running a fever. Please, in Christian charity, consider the health and wellbeing of our brothers and sisters. We must take seriously the situation that we are in. The Lord gives us this time as an opportunity to show our love for one another by making these small sacrifices. It's really is a small thing to ask to help to protect one another. Remember you are still not under the obligation to attend Mass on Sunday until the end of August. Let's continue to pray for each other and let's find new and creative ways to live out our faith and to spread the Gospel. God bless all of you and especially those of you that have not forgotten to continue to support the parish and me through your many acts of kindness and generosity. Hope to see you soon! Your Pastor, Fr. Emilio
