*****please note the following changes to our mass schedule*****
Beginning the weekend of August 8th, the Wednesday 9:00 am Masses will be permanently suspended. The Wednesday Mass intentions already scheduled for the remainder of the year will be combined with the Friday 9:00 am Mass. Wednesday 9:00 am daily Mass is offered at Good Shepherd Church in Rhinebeck.
Beginning in September the 7:00 am Tuesday/Thursday Masses at the Holy Spirit Chapel will be permanently suspended. The Mass intentions will be added to the 9:00 am Mass of the same day for the remainder of the year.
This reflects the diminished priest staffing of our parishes. Thank you for your understanding. -
