The 2022 Mass Intention Book is now available by appointment only. Due to Covid restrictions only one
family (two people) will be able to come into the rectory office to schedule Masses. All appointments
will be taken over the phone. Appointments can be made starting Tuesday, January 19th. Each family
must show up at their assigned time. No one will be allowed to wait in the rectory office if they arrive
early. Each person will need to be checked in, temperature taken, and Covid questions answered. If
someone has a temperature of 100 or higher they will be asked to leave immediately.
Dates for appointments are Monday, February 1st – Thursday, 4th and Monday, February 8th –
Thursday, February 11th. Please call the rectory office at
649-2765 to make a reservation.
Starting Monday, February 15th Mass requests will be taken by phone.
As in the past the following guidelines will be followed:
Only ten (10) Mass requests per parish family.
Only three (3) of those ten will be scheduled on a weekend.
There is a $15.00 stipend for each Mass requested, payable by cash or check (made payable to Ss Peter
& Paul Church). Having a completed Mass Scheduling form filled out in advance will be very helpful.
Name, address and phone number are needed. These forms are available at the church entrances and
in the rectory office during regular business hours.
If you have any questions please call the rectory office, Monday – Friday from 9:00-12:00 and
12:30-4:00.
With the recent Supreme Court ruling on the capacity in houses of worship, Saints Peter and Paul will resume our current Mass schedule of Sat. 4 p.m., Sunday 7:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. with in-person Masses up to 1/2 capacity beginning this weekend. Our 9:30 a.m. Mass will continue to be live-streamed as before for those who are not able to attend, or who do not feel comfortable attending in person. Please remember that Bishop Scharefenberger continues to extend the dispensation to all from the obligation to attend Mass during this pandemic.
We continue to ask that all respect and adhere to the proper NYSG COVID 19 guidelines and regulations for social distancing and wearing of masks.
Let us all offer a prayer of thanksgiving and safety for all in this difficult time.
Please Join us for mass at 9:30 AM on Sundays at

Friends of the Night People
Hello Fellow Parishioners,
As you may have previously read on the parish website, in the wake of the Coronavirus Pandemic the preparation of a meal to Friends of the Night People was suspended. Friends of the Night People is now planning to bring back volunteer groups to assist with the serving of a takeout meal on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. At this time we will not be preparing the meal. We were informed that only 4 volunteers will go to the facility from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. to serve the meal The Director has provided us with all of the steps being taken to protect volunteers and the people they serve from the virus. A video has provided to demonstrate the set up and serving of the meal. We are looking for members of our parish who would like to participate in this wonderful ministry. We have informed Friends that we would like to keep the third Saturday of the month as in past years. If you are interested in being added to the volunteer list please contact Dave and Leslie Jones at 648-4764 or 799-2668 or email us at dmlajones1234@gmail.com. All volunteers who sign up will receive the email and video from the Director of Friends to view the steps to provide a safe environment. Thank you!
If you can not provide help in person, but would prefer to give a monetary or gift card donation please see the address below.
