Pentecost Sunday

Dear brothers and sisters,

Blessed be God who has allowed us to open our three parishes right before the

great celebration of Pentecost. We hope that the Holy Spirit will abundantly pour

out his gifts on all of you and your families in this difficult time that we all have to

live through.

Our collaborative was granted permission to reopen last Thursday, May 20, when we were able to meet the re-

quirements established by the Governor and the Archdiocese itself. These rules and requirements are especially

aimed at ensuring the safety of all who come to celebrate the Eucharist in our parishes.

The key of the whole success of our reopening was that we were able to meet with the Tri-Parish Council via

Zoom every day for one hour at least for updates. The members of the council did a great job to find the right

people to do the cleaning of the churches and to prepare the seating arrangement. We made a rehearsal withy

the volunteers, one in each parish on Saturday morning. Since our parishes rely so much on volunteers, it was

quite easy to put them to work, but we are still in need of more people who may want to cooperate to maintain

the order and security in our celebrations.

Our three parishes have been thoroughly cleaned, and a disinfectant suggested by authorities is being used to

ensure all surfaces are germ-free. Special care has been taken to disinfect the benches and kneelers where you

are sitting. After each mass a volunteer carefully disinfects the places where someone has been sitting. The

pews are marked so that a good safety distance can be maintained. St. Mary’s can welcome up to 120 people;

St. Thomas’ up to 140; and OL of Lourdes’ up to 190 people, being the parish with the largest space. A volun-

teer always keeps count of the people who arrive so that this allowed number is not exceeded.

Our safety procedures and hygiene are working very well. When parishioners enter the church they are all

asked to remove their gloves (if they are wearing any), to wash their hands and to wear a face mask. After that,

the volunteers ask you to sit in a designated spot.

Regarding online masses, our idea is to help people who are most vulnerable and who cannot attend mass. Un-

til our parishes are completely reopened, all our broadcasts on our YouTube Channel (St. Thomas Aquinas

Parish) will be done from Saint Thomas:

- Sundays, Mass in English at 10 am and Mass in Spanish at 12:30 pm.

- Monday to Friday: Masses in English at 12:00 pm.

- Masses during the week in Spanish at 7:00 pm (only Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.)

- Divine Mercy Chaplet bilingual; every day at 3:00pm.

- Rosary in Spanish: Sundays at 8:30pm.

During the next few weeks, if there is someone who is unable to come to Mass and would like to receive the

Eucharist or the Sacrament of Reconciliation, please contact the rectory, and one of the priests will contact

you.

Finally, I remind you that the financial needs of the parishes are extreme. I ask that you be generous with your

contributions. People who do not come to mass may continue to contribute by sending a check payable to your

parish (to any of the three), but to the address of Saint Thomas Aquinas (97 South Street, Jamaica Plain, MA

02130). Another way is to use the online methods found on our website catholicjproxbury.com. The most vul-

nerable people can even ask us to go to their houses to collect their contributions, if they call the rectory.

Thank you for your support! See you soon! Pray for us! Fr. Carlos and Fr. Andrea.

Queridos hermanos y hermanas,

Bendito sea Dios que nos ha permitido abrir las tres parroquias justo a las puertas de la gran celebración de Pentecos-

tés. Esperamos que el Espíritu Santo derrame abundantemente sus dones sobre todos ustedes y sus familias en este

tiempo difícil que nos ha tocado vivir a todos. .

A nuestra colaborativa se nos concedió el permiso de reabrir el pasado Jueves 20 de mayo, cuando pudimos demostrar

que cumplimos con los requisitos que establece el Gobernador y la propia Arquidiócesis. Estas normas y requisitos es-

tán encaminadas especialmente hacia asegurar la seguridad de todos los que vengan a celebrar la eucaristía este fin de

semana.

La clave de todo el éxito de nuestra reapertura fue que pudimos reunir al Consejo Tri-Parroquial a través de Zoom to-

dos los días de semana pasada durante al menos una hora para recibir actualizaciones. Los miembros del consejo hicie-

ron un gran trabajo al encontrar las personas adecuadas para limpiar las iglesias y preparar la disposición de los asien-

tos. Hicimos un ensayo de voluntarios en cada parroquia el sábado por la mañana. Como nuestras parroquias dependen

tanto de los voluntarios, fue bastante fácil ponerlos a trabajar, pero seguimos necesitando más personas que quieran

colaborar a mantener el orden y la seguridad en nuestras celebraciones.

Las parroquias se han limpiado a fondo, y se está usando un desinfectante sugerido por las autoridades, para asegurar

que todas las superficies están libres de gérmenes. Se ha tenido especial cuidado en desinfectar los bancos y reclinato-

rios donde están ustedes sentados. Después de cada misa un voluntario desinfecta con cuidado los lugares donde al-

guien ha estado sentado. Los bancos están marcados para que se pueda mantener una buena distancia de seguridad. La

parroquia de Santa María puede acoger hasta 120 personas; la de Santo Tomás 140, y la de Lourdes hasta 190 personas,

al ser la parroquia con mayor espacio. Un voluntario siempre lleva conteo de las personas que llegan para que no se

exceda ese número permitido.

Nuestras normas de seguridad e higiene están funcionando muy bien. Cuando los feligreses entran a la iglesia, se les

pide que se quiten los guantes (si llevan alguno), que se laven las manos y que usen una mascarilla. Después de eso, los

voluntarios le piden que se sienten en un lugar designado.

Con respecto a las misas online, nuestra idea es ayudar a las personas que son más vulnerables y que no pueden asistir

a las misas. Hasta que se reabran por completo las parroquias, nuestras retransmisiones en el Canal de YouTube (St.

Thomas Aquinas Parish) serán hechas desde Santo Tomás:

Los Domingos, Misa en inglés a las 10 de la mañana y las misa en español a las 12:30pm.

De lunes a viernes: Misas en inglés a las 12:00pm.

Misas durante la semana en español a las 7:00pm (solo Miércoles, Jueves y Viernes.)

Coronilla bilingüe de la Divina Misericordia: todos los días a las 3:00pm.

Rosario en español: Domingos a las 8:30pm.

Durante las próximas semanas, si hay alguna persona que no puede venir a las misas y quisiera recibir la eucaristía o el

sacramento de la reconciliación, por favor comuníquese con la rectoría, y uno de los sacerdotes se pondrá en contacto

con usted.

Por último, les recuerdo que las necesidades económicas de las parroquias son extremas. Les pido que sean generosos

con sus contribuciones. Las personas que no vienen a las misas pueden seguir contribuyendo enviando un cheque a

nombre de su parroquia (a cualquiera de las tres), pero a la dirección de Santo Tomás de Aquino (97 South Street, Ja-

maica Plain, MA 02130). También pueden usar los métodos on-line que se encuentran en nuestra página web catho-

licjproxbury.com. Las personas más vulnerables pueden incluso pedirnos que vayamos a sus casas a recoger su contri-

bución, si llaman a la rectoría.

Muchas gracias. ¡Nos vemos pronto! ¡Oren por nosotros! P. Carlos y P. Andrea.
