Welcome to Glen Cove Catholic

RE President Trump's Recent Comments:  The below guidelines were issued before President Trump's welcomed COMMENTS on May 22nd calling faith services "essential services" and demanding governors lift restrictions immediately. 

UPDATE (May 24th):  We are still awaiting further directions from the diocese on how to proceed.  The current limit of a mere 10 people seems to make daily Mass effectively unworkable.  Therefore, we will continue with our current 8:30 am live-stream schedule until further notice.  Please check back here daily, as this situation could change any day.   Thank you for your patience.   - Canons Regular of St Augustine

Diocesan Directives – Effective May 21, 2020

1. Please remember that the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains in effect. The sick and vulnerable should also remain at home until further notice.

2. Funerals, Weddings and Baptisms (with no more than 10 people in attendance, including the celebrant) may resume. Masks or cloth facial coverings are required for anyone over the age of 2 years.   People with serious health conditions that prevent them from wearing masks are not required to do so.

3. Daily/Weekend Mass: Due to the current attendance restrictions, we will not schedule any Masses for the time being and will continue to live-stream them via https://www.facebook.com/GlenCoveCatholic/.

4. Holy Communion: Until further notice, Holy Communion will not be distributed at any liturgies. Only priests and deacons only will receive if a Mass is celebrated.  The priest, as always, receives on behalf of all the faithful whether they can do so or not, either due to un-confessed sins, unpreparedness, or precautionary measures during epidemics.  Please remember that there is still a great deal of merit in making a Spiritual Communion.  The Act of Spiritual Communion may be recited communally before Mass or following the Post-Communion Prayer.

5. Confessions may again be scheduled. The schedule for this is below.   Please remember that we will limit the number of people in the church/parish hall to 10 at any given time.  To ensure that as many people can go as possible, one should not remain any longer than necessary after the confession to make one’s penance and pray.  Some additional points to note: 

• • Masks/facial coverings should be worn at all times. 
  • As confessions will likely be heard outside of confessionals
    • The penitent should speak in as quiet a voice as possible, and
    • Those waiting should be far enough away that they cannot overhear confessions.

CONFESSIONS!
