As the children have begun their “at home studies” we are all learning new things, as well. Parents are trying to navigate the newest…new math, and we are all adding to our vocabulary with phrases like” social distancing” and “flatten the curve”.
Time for another update.
All activities here at St. Denis continue to be suspended. Please be assured that Fr. Pat
and I are celebrating Mass each day for all of you and for the Mass intentions that have been reserved. We have set up a makeshift altar at the dining room table. In a way,
I guess it gives us more of a Last Supper feeling. The church will remain open from 8:00am-7:00pm daily. However, the rectory office will now be closed until further
notice. If you need something please call (227-8382).
We will continue to hear Confessions on Saturdays (8:00-8:45 am & 3:30-4:30 pm)
but will now do so on the front porch of the rectory. You will be able to see us from
the front steps of the church. If there is someone with the priest please stay by the
church entrance until they are finished. If you need to come for Confession at another
time, please call the rectory first to make an appointment.
We will continue to prepare a bulletin each week but it will now only be found on our webpage (stdenischurch.org) since the bulletin company has also closed. Please
also look to our Facebook page and Flocknotes for parish information.
We ask that you discontinue dropping off clothing and other items for the time being
since the places that we bring them to are not collecting anything at this time.
However, please continue to drop off food as we need to keep the St Vincent dePaul
Food Pantry stocked for those who need help. The response to donate towards gift
cards for the Pantry(since they will not be able to provide Easter food baskets) has
been wonderful. Thank you to all who have donated. If you haven’t already done so
and would like to you can send a check made out to St. Vincent dePaul Food Pantry
to St. Columba Church, 835 Route 82, Hopewell Junction, NY 12533.
On that note, thank you to everyone who has been sending in your donations to the
parish. It is a tremendous help and a sigh of your dedication to both your faith and
the church of St. Denis. We know that everyone might not be able to do so but for
those who are, we are very grateful. Donations can be sent by mail or placed in the
mailbox at the beginning of the walkway to the rectory. You can also sign up for
electronic giving by going to our parish website and looking under “About us” for
Online Giving.
It is still a little too early to determine whether we will have First Communion and Confirmation as scheduled. We will make a decision in a week or so.
We are working on getting something together for Holy Week. No one will be able
to attend services but we are going to try to have them livestreamed. I will send
out more information about that early next week.
Lastly, below please find some information that might be helpful to you. It was
sent out by Dutchess County.

Nuvance Health, in cooperation with Dutchess and Ulster counties, have opened two COVID-19 drive-through collection sites. The sites are the Intermodal Center at Dutchess Stadium on Route 9D in Fishkill (directions) and Tech City at 300 Enterprise Drive in Kingston (directions). Testing is by appointment only and requires a physician's order. Please refer to our press release for more information.
Some Scriptural thoughts for these difficult times:
Philippians 4:6-7: “Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
Joshua 1:9: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not
tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
If nothing else, the current situation has shown us all both what we are cap[able of handling and just what we really do need to survive and be happy.
Let us continue to pray for one another.
Fr. Bob

Bp. Barron's Lent Reflections
-
Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus predicts his death on the cross. We are meant to see on that cross not simply a violent display, but rather our own ugliness. What brought Jesus to the cross...
