In this time of need, I invite all the faithful to seek together the maternal intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and I share this prayer with you:

Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, Queen of the Angels and Mother of the Americas.
We fly to you today as your beloved children.
We ask you to intercede for us with your Son, as you did at the wedding in Cana.

Pray for us, loving Mother,
and gain for our nation and world,
and for all our families and loved ones,
the protection of your holy angels,
that we may be spared the worst of this illness.

For those already afflicted,
we ask you to obtain the grace of healing and deliverance.
Hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful,
wipe away their tears and help them to trust.

In this time of trial and testing,
teach all of us in the Church to love one another and to be patient and kind.
Help us to bring the peace of Jesus to our land and to our hearts.

We come to you with confidence,
knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother,
health of the sick and cause of our joy.

Shelter us under the mantle of your protection,
keep us in the embrace of your arms,
help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus. Amen.

Archdiocese of New York Statement on Lifting of Restrictions

Each Thursday at St. Mary's the Blessed Sacrament remains exposed on the Altar for Adoration from 7:30am until 7:15pm. The Lord asked His Apostles to spend an hour with Him in prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. Would you consider spending an hour (or a half hour) with Him on Thursdays? Stop in at any point on Thursday to spend a few minutes with the Lord. We are also looking for people to commit to an hour or half hour of prayer throughout the day so that there will be at least one or two people present while the Blessed Sacrament is exposed for Adoration. You can sign up for a time slot in the back of the church.

For all updates regarding St. Mary's Parents and Children's Ministry Programs in the time of the Coronavirus pandemic when we cannot gather together in person, including:

Please wear a mask when entering the office if NY State guidelines require you to do so.
As we can only assist one person at a time, you may need to
wait on the porch or in your auto until the person in the office exits.
It is suggested you call the office if possible when you arrive
and we will provide entry directions.
 
Remember – we are available by phone 845-896-6400
You can also e-mail us at contactstmarys@gmail.com
IF SOMEONE IS IN DANGER OF DEATH,
PLEASE CALL AND SAY THAT IN YOUR MESSAGE!
******************************************************************

Since we resumed our weekday Mass (7am & 9am Monday through Friday
and 9am on Saturday) at a capacity that more than supports our normal
daily Mass attendance, Mass will not be live-streamed Monday-Saturday.
We will continue to live-stream a Sunday Mass until further notice.

If you are unable to attend daily Mass and would benefit from watching at home,
there are many possible options: 

You can tune into EWTN https://www.ewtn.com/tv/schedule,
The Catholic Faith Network, or St. Patrick's Cathedral Live online
