COVID-19 Updated diocesan directive Based on the current situation as well as the statements made today by Gov. Baker and the President, Bishop Mitchell Rozanski has issued these updated directives. 1/ All Masses and other activities are suspended in all parishes until further notice. I would strongly urge parishioners to view our televised Mass, the Chalice of Salvation, which airs in Berkshire County at 6 am Sunday on WXXA Fox23 Albany and elsewhere on WWLP 22News Sunday morning at 10 am. And there will be two live-streamed Masses, Saturday at 4 pm and Sunday at 10 am, via a link at WWW.stagnescc.com. 2/ The only exception for parish-based activities would be Take & Eat programs, which may continue at the discretion of the pastor. 3/All pastoral in-home and nursing home visits are to be discontinued unless the individual is in critical condition. 4/ Catholic schools will close for two weeks. 5/ In light of these circumstances, the planned ACA In-Pew Commitment Weekend will be rescheduled to weekend of April 18/19 2020. 6/ Working with risk management and environmental consultants, we are developing a comprehensive response plan to help guide us in the coming days, weeks, and months
