NYS MASK MANDATE
NYS has mandated masks for everyone gathering indoors.  If you need a mask, please ask an usher.  We recognize that some people refuse to comply with the mandate, and others feel unsafe around anyone who does not wear a mask.  Out of a sense of charity towards all, if you do not wear a mask, please ask the ushers to help you find you a suitable seat.  If you are wearing a mask and are uncomfortable with a maskless person in close proximity to you, you may move or ask them kindly to move.  Thank you for your patience and kindness.

OFFERTORY COLLECTIONS

In this time of social distancing and isolation, please remember that the needs of your parish continue.  You can continue to support your parish through traditional methods (envelopes) or it may be more convenient for you to make your offertory contribution electronically through St. Matthew’s E-giving program.   Please see St. Matthew’s E-Giving page for more information.  We are truly grateful for all who have remained faithful with their financial assistance during this time of uncertainty.
