"But maybe this helpless state of just standing aside,
this overpowering sense of not being able to do anything about it is
the only sort of adoration I’m allowed just now....
this, too, is the way of divining the immensity of this tremendous mystery,
of paying reverence... to something surpassing by far
either comprehension or emotion."
- Martin L. Smith

Reconciliation of a Penitent
|
|
Reconciliation of a Penitent, or what some may recognize as "confession," is exercised, most often, through common prayer during public worship, and at other times, through the priesthood, with Christ's ministers declaring absolution.
Reconciliation of a Penitent is still available for all who desire it. Confessions may be heard anytime and anywhere. For now, our "anywhere" means over the telephone, or through digital means of FaceTime, Zoom or Skype. To make an appointment for a priest to engage with you in reconciliation, and to hear your confession, please contact them, individually, at

Making face masks for our wider community

Making face masks for our wider community.
Home-sewn masks cannot be used in place of high filtration N95 masks needed for medical professionals directly caring for those with COVID-19, nor can they replace surgical masks because they do not prevent disease transmission.
Home-sewn masks could be used for some health care workers who might be feel more comfortable at work.
- Banner Health will accept home-sewn masks under the following conditions.
- Complete an online form at www.bannerhealth.com/COVIDHelp
- A Banner Health team member will follow up to get additional information and proved instructions
- Honor Health will not accept home-sewn masks as of March 28
- Abrazo Health and Dignity Health have not provided any such guidance
The CDC is now considering the use of home-sewn masks for community use. The idea seems to be that their use can make us feel better about being protected. They
will not take the place of washing our hands often and observing social distancing
, but they can remind us to avoid touching our faces.
Clear directions for making community-use masks can be found at
www.Providence.com
This is the website of a west-coast network of hospitals based in Washington. Scroll down to 100 Million Mask Challenge. Then click on Learn More, which will bring you to resources for community members who sew.

Music at Trinity Cancels Remainder of Spring 2020 Concert Season
|
|
Out of ongoing concern for the health and wellbeing of the community, Music at Trinity has cancelled the remainder of its spring performances at Trinity Cathedral.
According to Trinity Canon Musician Erik Goldstrom, “All in-person gatherings at Trinity Cathedral have been suspended until at least April 20, with an intent to revisit that decision in light of CDC guidelines. Given the uncertainty of the immediate future and the rapidly expanding list of public closures, the Music at Trinity program has decided to cancel the remainder of the 2019-2020 season. We are currently planning our 2020-2021 season, which is Trinity’s Centennial year, and look forward to sharing that schedule in the near future.”

ICM Food and Clothing Bank
|

ICM IS HERE TO SERVE
Yes, ICM are open. ICM continues to provide food and basic needs to our community. In the past two weeks we have seen our clothing room close, many volunteers having to stay home and food supplies dwindle so low we were afraid we would have to close. It's a difficult time for everyone, but especially those who need groceries, have lost a job or hours and cannot keep up with their family's needs right now. This past Tuesday, we served more than 800 people in one day. Many people visited us for the first time.
Our food supplies are holding up, but they are being stretched to the limit.
