Covid-19 (novel Corona virus) updates

Services are now back on-line.

With the resurgence of Covid-19 cases all around the world, including in NY state, new restrictions have been imposed.  Starting with Advent I (Nov 29), all services and studies will be on-line only.  Thanksgiving Eve will be the last hybrid service.

While the State has only raised us to Orange alert (25 people together max), our Bishop, out of an abundance of caution, and considering how old and vulnerable most Episcopalian parishioners are, has closed all in-person services until at least January.

Required Precautions:  (for Thanksgiving Eve, and when we start up again in person)
* Facemasks, hand sanitizer, and social distancing required.
* Maximum of 25 people, per the State
* Enter through the ramp door to sign in and for a non-touch
temperature check
