Transfiguration Parish

Tarrytown, NY

Since Wednesday, the some of the senior members of the parish have been worshipping in church under the new church reconfiguration.

Under the instruction of the Archdiocese and in accordance with the norms of the CDC and New York State regarding the corona virus and those who are fully vaccinated, the parish has further opened up its seating. 

For those who are fully vaccinated, i.e., have received either both doses of the Pfizer of Moderna vaccine or the one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, they are not required to wear masks or socially distance.
The majority of our parishioners have been fully vaccinated or are in the process of being fully vaccinated, so we are able to relax the restrictions in the parish.

We want everyone to feel comfortable, and so the church space has been reconfigured to include both open seating and restricted seating.
Open seating is for all those who have been fully vaccinated.  Those seated there may or may not wear masks or socially distance.
Restricted seating is for all families and individuals who are still unvaccinated, for those who still prefer to socially distance and wear masks, for those who are in the vulnerable category, and for families with toddlers and infants. These seats are designated with signs.

As we continue to open up safely, some measures will still remain in place:
- Temperature checks and hand sanitizing will still be done.
- The sign of peace will not resume for the moment.
- Priests will wash and sanitize their hands before and after communion, and will wear masks while distributing communion.
- Communion will continue to be given only in the hand and only as hosts.
- The cleaning of the worship space will continue to be done daily, and on Sundays between each Mass.

We prayed for a continued reopening of society and an end to the pandemic, not only here in the US, but throughout the world as well. 
 

This year, we learned that roofs of both the school and the church need replacing, as illustrated by the massive leaks we have in the parish.  The current estimate for the work is $300,000.
One of our parishioners has challenged 300 members of our parish and school family to give $1000 each, after which he will also increase his donation.  Please help us to reach our goal. 
To help us out, please sign up an give to our Renew + Rebuild campaign. 

On Thursday, June 17 at 12:00pm, we are offering a thanksgiving luncheon for all of our seniors in the parish.
Throughout the pandemic, the seniors supported us by their presence and their prayers.  They faithfully came to the church and prayed, whether silently alone or together in safely socially distanced groups, for an end to the pandemic and for the safety of everyone.  Once we were able to celebrate Mass together in the building, they were the first to come back to Mass. 
So we want to celebrate you all with a special luncheon of gratitude.  Those senior parishioners who would like to join us should plese call the parish office and let us know you are attending before by Thursday, June 10.
