St. Timothy's and St. Rita Churches

What we are doing during the Coronavirus crisis:

--we are abiding by guidelines set by the federal and state government.

--we are adhering to directives from the Diocese of Providence.

--I am celebrating a private Mass every day and praying the Liturgy of the Hours. (I am celebrating the Mass with the specific intention designated for the Mass but also praying for all parishioners of St. Timothy and St. Rita)

--we are reaching out to students in Faith Formation to let them know about online resources.

--we are publishing our bulletin and putting information on the parish website.

--we are monitoring our financial situation carefully. Please consider mailing in your weekly offertory donation or register for ‘on-line giving’---information can be found for this option on the website.

--we will continue to update you through the website as best as we possibly can. For example, there will be some information forthcoming about Holy Week and how we will celebrate the Paschal Triduum (without a public liturgy) ---this is new for all of us.  

--we are in ‘new territory’----through it all we will attend to the spiritual and temporal needs of the parish (St. Timothy and St. Rita) as much as we able.

--please pray daily for all those effected by the virus and for all working to bring about a medical solution to this pandemic.

--stay hopeful! Remain optimistic! Let us not be discouraged but trust that Jesus walks with us through the suffering of this present time----the cross is indeed heavy for some of our brothers and sisters. Where we are able let us reach out to neighbors through a phone call, letter, e-mail, text, etc.---let us support one another with our prayers, acts of kindness and our good wishes.
