Sunday Masses will again be in English, Italian, and Spanish for the most part.Only two of the times are changing: Mass in English will be at 9:00 AM, as it used to be. The Mass in Italian will be at 10:30 AM and the Mass in Spanish is staying at 12:00 PM.Starting Sunday June 6, 2021 The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ - Corpus ChristiVigil Mass on Saturday at 4:00 PM in EnglishSunday Mass at 9:00 AM in EnglishSunday at 10:30 AM in ItalianSunday at 12:00 PM in Spanish
Reminder About the New Temporary Mass Schedule:
Vigil Masses on Saturday at 4:00 PM in English
Sunday Mass at 8:00 AM in English
Sunday at 10:00 AM in English with readings in Italian. This mass

The temporary change was needed to allow for the orderly
entrance and exit of parishioners and the disinfecting of the Church
after each Mass.
The Masses are first-come-first-served; there is no pre-registration or tickets. When the Masses become full again, under the current circumstances, we may put in a simple way of regulating Mass attentance. -
Update on COVID-19 Directives
From the Office of Divine Worship:
In light of the updated health guidelines by the CDC, the Governor, and the Rhode Island Department of Health, the following changes in procedure should be considered in our parishes.
Indoor seating capacity is increased from 80% to 100% beginning Friday May, 21, 2021.
Fully vaccinated parishioners are no longer required to wear a facemask indoors and outdoors.
Those who are not fully vaccinated should be asked to continue to wear a facemask indoors. However, any form of discrimination should be avoided against those who are not fully vaccinated and those who do not use a facemask.
Parish social gatherings may resume beginning Friday May, 21, 2021 with 100% seating capacity. Parishes and agencies should follow the recommended protocols set forth by the Rhode Island Department of Health for “catered events.”
Pastors should continue to observe the following within their parish at this time.
* Sufficient hand sanitizing dispensers should be made available at the vestibule of the church which can be used by parishioners upon entering. Parishioners should continually be encouraged to practice proper hand hygiene.
*The distribution of the Precious Blood at Holy Communion to the lay faithful should remain suspended.
* Allow for proper ventilation for increased airflow and HVAC filtration when possible.

Year of St. Joseph“On December 8, 2020, Pope Francis declared a special Year of St. Joseph to run through December 8, 2021. This marks the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St. Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church by Pope Pius IX. Pope Francis began the year with a new Apostolic Letter entitled Patris Corde (With a Father’s Heart).
Pope Francis said he was establishing the year so that “every member of the faithful, following his example, may strengthen their life of faith daily in the complete fulfillment of God’s will.”
Pope Francis said the coronavirus pandemic has heightened his desire to reflect on St. Joseph, as so many people during the pandemic have made hidden sacrifices to protect others, just as St. Joseph quietly protected and cared for Mary and Jesus. “Each of us can discover in Joseph -- the man who goes unnoticed, a daily, discreet and hidden presence -- an intercessor, a support and a guide in times of trouble,” the pope wrote.”At Holy Ghost we will offer a Novena Prayer to St. Joseph along with praying the Litany of St. Joseph at the conclusion of Exposition on March 10, 2021. I encourage you to use the resources linked here or what has been printed in our bulletin to continue with the Novena prayers and to ultimately join us, if you can, for Holy Mass on Friday, March 19 at 7:00 AM or 7:00 PM.
