ENTER BY THE NARROW GATE We are moving towards having Mass attendees at St. Elizabeth’s enter by the front wooden doors only. You can always depart from the other doors. This is a security measure. Thank you for your understanding. A GENTLE REMINDER If you are feeling sick or showing flu-like symptoms, please do not hesitate to remain home rather than come to Mass. Please also be extra conscious of covering one’s mouth if you must cough or sneeze. We want to keep everyone healthy and happy! HAVE YOU GOTTEN COVID? Dear Parishioners, if you have covid or are aware of it in our parish, it could be helpful for me to know about it. If you want this kept private I will respect that. I am just trying to manage our parish life and keep us open and running. You can email me directly at [email protected]. -Father de Rosa, Pastor COVID SEATING REGULATIONS AT MASS This is a reminder that we need to seat every other pew, and six feet apart between non-family members. The ushers will help you find your seats. Our parish system is like that at a restaurant, seating according to the size of the family. This is more adaptive than just roping off pews. We are doing our best. Please understand that the ushers are following the guidelines and treat them with charity. JOB OPPORTUNITY We have a friend of the parish looking for an assistant in her cleaning business. If you are interested please contact Fr. de Rosa. LENTEN LAPBOOK Saint Anthony will be hosting a Lapbook assembly session on Wednesday Feb. 10 at 10 am. Help your child journey through Lent in a meaningful, organized and scripture-based way. We will do all of the copying and cutting- you and your child will assemble the book! This is not a drop-off activity, you must stay with your child. Please RSVP to Mrs. Tolley by Jan 31st. Saint Michael the Archangel Catholic High School Open House Sunday January 31 st , 1-4 pm. ONE HAIL MARY A DAY Dear Parishioners, I wish to renew my request to you that you pray one Hail Mary a day for me as your pastor. Peace, Fr. de Rosa, Pastor 2021 BISHOP'S LENTEN APPEAL BEGINS!

Together, through the BLA, let us renew our personal commitment to furthering the Mission of our Lord Jesus throughout our diocese.
