July 11
Please accept this letter in support of HD 5166 and SD 2992 “An Act to guarantee housing stability during COVID-19 emergency and recovery”. These identical bills would significantly expand the timeline by which landlords of rental properties and mortgagees of real property would be prohibited from evicting or foreclosing on individuals for nonpayment of rent or mortgage. Specifically, the bills would build upon a law enacted in the legislature in April of this year, as the state was beginning to realize the impact of the pandemic on its residents. That bill passed and was signed into law by Governor Baker with overwhelming support of the legislature. MORERead More -

St. Christopher's has implemented safety measures for the celebration of Mass
SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR PUBLIC MASS CELEBRATIONS
We would like to highlight a few requirements which must be followed to keep us all safe as we celebrate Mass and the Sacraments together.
1) The front doors of the church (facing the street) will be the only entrance
open into the church.
2) There is a limit to the number of people we can safely seat (approx. 60). If need be,
we will seat additional people downstairs in the church hall for a livestream viewing of
the Mass.
3) Wear a face mask or covering at all times except during the reception of
Holy Communion.
4) Maintain social distance of 6 feet or more at all times. This also applies to standing in line for communion or even when entering or leaving the church. Immediate families may, of course, sit closer in the pews.
5) Parishioners will proceed to communion one row at a time to allow for social distancing. At the time of communion, please remain in your seat until an usher directs you to proceed. We also strongly recommend that you receive communion
in your hand rather than on the tongue.
6) Every other pew will be blocked off so as to allow ample distance between people. Please sit only at indicated spots in open pews.
7) Do not ask people to “slide down a pew” since you would be touching shared surfaces which have not been properly cleaned.
8) There will be no donation collection during Mass. There will be a basket for donations in the main entrance of the church that you may use ONLY as you enter the church. The basket will not be accessible following Mass. Donations can also be sent in by mail or by Online Giving from our parish website.
9) There will be no missalettes or bulletins in the church. Our weekly bulletin is available on our parish website. If you do not have internet at home, you may call the parish office and we can mail the bulletin out to you.
10) All exit doors will be open as you leave the church. Please exit by the door closest to where you are seated in church.
We also want to remind older adults and those with underlying health conditions that they are not obligated to attend Mass and should continue to stay home and watch our livestream Mass on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. Bishop McManus has lifted the obligation for you to attend Mass on Sundays until December 31, 2020.
Fr. Stanley
