Easter Sunday
- Easter Sunday Mass at 9:00am
- Easter Sunday Mass at 10:00am
This Mass will be celebrated outside on the steps of the church. You are invited to come to the parking lot and stay in your cars with your families to pray this Mass. (
See the guidelines below.
) We will not be able to receive Holy Communion, but our priests will lead us in a Spiritual Communion. Sound will be broadcast over a radio station. *
This Mass will not be live-streamed
- Procession Through the Town With the Blessed Sacrament
After 10am Mass, our priests will lead a procession of the Blessed Sacrament (and whoever wants to join the procession in their cars) through the town of Pittsford. Please see the map below of the procession route. A Monroe County Sheriff will escort our procession beginning in our parking lot and ending in front of St. Louis where our priests will be waiting to bless each family inside of their cars!
This procession is to honor and support all our healthcare workers, first responders, essential workers, and all those who have died in our community and around the world from the Coronavirus. Please decorate your cars with the American flag, Easter banners or flowers for the procession.
It is very important that we follow the directions we were given:
- People will stay in their cars together with only members who live in the same house and are isolating together.
- Be prudent. If someone is close to your car, keep the windows closed.
Let’s do this not only to keep people safe, but to stand behind our promise to the authorities that we would comply with their guidelines!
We are doing this to ask God to keep us safe and honor those who are working so hard to shield us from the worst of this virus, and especially for all those who have died from this virus. *
This procession will not be live-streamed, but a video of this event will be made and posted later on Facebook and our website
We all are deeply saddened that we can’t celebrate Holy Week and Easter Sunday in our usual ways, and that we need to keep a safe distance when we’d love to come together in church. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please keep in mind that throughout Holy Week, the church will be open for private prayer, however, the church must be empty during the times that these special services are taking place.
After Easter we will try to live-stream a Mass each day. More details will follow about time as we work with our wonderful live-streaming volunteer, Mike Moore!
