Caring, helpful and generous; that describes the parishioners of St. Robert Bellar- mine. We thank in a special way the 149 generous families and individuals who made a pledge to the 2021 Annual Catholic Appeal and helped to make our recent In-Pew weekend a great success.

If you were not able to make a pledge, we are asking each family to con- sider making a tax-deductible gift today. It is our hope for this appeal to receive a prayerful gift no matter the amount from every family so that we can reach and exceed our goal! Every dollar above our goal comes back to us to fund our parish needs.

You may also make your gift online now at annualcatholicappeal.org or text ACA to 917-336-1255 or call 718-965-7375 ext. 1602 and have a pledge card mailed to your home. You can also point your camera at the qr code below and follow the link that pops up.

1. On May 19th, 2021 many restrictions will be lifted in NYS regarding occupancy limits. This will include churches. The occupancy of a Church is now 100%. However, social distancing is still required. Six feet should be maintained between individuals and house- holds sitting together. This effectively means that 100% capacity is unrealistic; however, it allows for some more flexibility. 2 .The wearing of masks is to be continued. 3. There is no exchange of peace using handshakes and no common Communion cups. Receiving Holy Communion in the hand is still encouraged as the saf- er way to receive. Priests concelebrating Mass should still receive by intinction. 4. Hand disinfecting for both the congregation and the clergy, especially before Holy Communion is still required. 5. Holy water fonts should not be filled as yet. This refers to Holy Water which remains in receptacles and is shared by everyone.
