Important Update Regarding President Trump's Announcement
About Covid-19 and Churches In response to President Trump's statement regarding Church reopenings, the Bishop of Fresno would like to provide a unified response.
We want to let you know that the public celebration of Masses here at Holy Spirit Parish were suspended, not out of fear, but out of our deepest respect for human life and health. The President's statement was wonderful news! But, please know that we can only open once Bishop Brennan, Bishop of the Diocese of Fresno allows. There is still a lot of preparation to do in our Parish to ensure we can open in the safest way possible for all of our Parishioners and Staff. Please have patience and continue to join us for live Masses on channel 49, on our website, facebook, or Vimeo.com /holyspiritfresno. We miss all of you and wish you all a blessed weekend! Fr. Pat |
Update 5/15/2020 - Dear parishioners, Bishop Brennan has sent a letter to all pastors and parish administrators instructing them to form a "reopening committee" at the parish level to discuss and plan for the future reopening of the church. It is important to know that, unfortunately, large gatherings are still not in the immediate future, but we have been asked to submit our building dimensions and seating capacity so that we will be ready to reopen responsibly and legally when the time comes. As you can imagine, it will likely require us to limit the number of people allowed in the church at any given time. Our reopening committee will be discussing the best possible ways to do this, taking to heart that our parishioners are eager to return to Mass and receive the Eucharist again.
For the immediate future, we hope to be able to open the Blessed Sacrament Chapel for Adoration very soon. Fr. Pat along with our staff and reopening committee will be discussing next week how we can do this in a safe and sanitary way.
Bishop Brennan will be meeting with all of the priests of the diocese online this Tuesday to continue the planning process for future reopening. Please keep him and all of our priests in prayer as they discuss how to shepherd the church through this very challenging time.
As always, our parish staff is available by phone or email M-F during morning hours if you have any needs, questions or prayer requests. We miss you all very much and are still looking forward to the day we can all gather together again!
