Religious Freedom’s Tenuous 21st Century Foothold

Posted on by

COMMENTARY: At no point in the recent history of the United States has our freedom of religious belief looked so fragile — and this despite the fact that the Trump administration has shown an unusually strong commitment to preserving that freedom.     https://www.ncregister.com/commentaries/religious-freedoms-tenuous-21st-century-foothold

~ R E M I N D E R ~
As per NY state and local regulations, and by Diocesan directives, the wearing of a face mask is mandated while in the church during Mass.


SCAM WARNING!
Someone has been sending emails and even texts to parishioners purporting to be from me soliciting gift cards and other items.
They are not from me! 
The scammer is using the email addresses and phone numbers printed in our bulletin and sending email and texts from a false address and number.

Do not comply with any such “request”.

Thank you,
Fr. Hewes
