As we have reopened our Church, I am grateful to you for your willingness to be of help to implement the various guidelines issued by New York State and the Diocese of Buffalo.

We're once again able to accommodate full capacity in our Church.

There are many new and different procedures that are being used as we celebrate public Masses once again.  Masks and social distancing are a "must" in our Church building.  Sanitizing is an important part of the upkeep of our Church.

There is a particular need for after-Mass sanitizer volunteers; please help if you're able to.  There is a cart of supplies in the Chapel to use for sanitizing.

Thank you!
-Fr. Dennis

Returning to Church is bringing about some new ways to worship as prescribed by the CDC and the Diocese of Buffalo.

- Please bring a mask, and having a personal hand sanitizer is always a good idea.

- Anyone entering and leaving St. Timothy Church is encouraged to wear a mask in order to protect others and oneself.  The mask can be removed during Mass at your pew at your discretion.  When going up the main aisle for the Eucharist and returning to your seat down the side aisles, a mask should be worn and only taken down momentarily to receive the Holy Communion host.

- Remember if you are ill or have a chronic illness, please do not attend in-person.  The obligation to attend Mass does not apply when you are ill.

- Holy water fonts will be empty and there will be no hymnals or missalettes available to protect us from the spread of COVID-19.

- There will be no handshaking or touching during the sign of peace, only a nod or a wave or a peace sign should be given.

- For the distribution of Holy Communion in the Church, there will be 2 ministers in the middle aisle.  Please come from the back down the middle, maintaining 6 feet of distance, and return to your seats via the side aisle.  In the Chapel, ministers will bring Communion to you, so please remain in your chair.

- As per our Bishop’s directive, Holy Communion will only be given in the hand at this time to prevent any fluids on the hands of those giving Holy Communion.

- After the final blessing, please follow an orderly departure.  Please, no gathering or socializing in the Church or Chapel.

- We're not accustomed to all the new directives but we must follow them to keep ourselves, and others, healthy at this time.

- Our Mass Schedule is:

                Monday thru Friday: 10:00 am

                Saturday: 4:30 pm

                Sunday:  7:30 am, 10:00 am, 12:00 noon, 7:00 pm
