Confessions will be heard from 4:00 to 5:00 at the Rectory front door, window on the left hand side. If you drive please park in the street and if there is someone ahead of you wait beyond the orange traffic cone to ensure privacy. Penance can be said in the Church, by the outside statue of the Blessed Mother or in your car.
As you probably realize -- the Sunday collection helps to sustain the parish. With the end of Mass on Sundays for a while -- things can get very difficult. Please consider joining other parishioners and donate to the parish through the WeShare link. It is easy to follow, and essential at this time of crisis. Just left click the "WeShare" phrase above and it will bring you to the site. Thank You!
Mass will be offered on Palm Sunday at 9:00 am, from the Parish Facebook page. There are other options too. Left click the phrase "Catholic Faith Network" above and it will bring you to a website that has different options for daily Mass. When you come to the site, scroll down to St. Patrick's or St. Agnes, and click the option and that will bring you to the celebration of the Mass.
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, Come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there, And unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
At this time, Saturday March 21, all Masses and Perpetual Adoration are still canceled. This is a great sacrifice for all of us, but working together, we can make a difference to help stop the spread. The Church is open every day from 9:30 to 5:00 for private prayer. Mass is celebrated every day at 9:00 am praying for you and asking God to bring this terrible event to an end. Please try to pray the rosary every day, and keep in mind the daily readings are listed on the website so you can stay in touch of the daily scripture readings.
The Eucharist – Scripture, History, Liturgy, Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant. Come learn and discuss the central sacrament of our Faith. This presentation has been postponed until the crisis has passed.

Today -- Monday Oct. 28, a fake email was sent to parishioners of St. Gregory's assuming the name of Fr. Joseph Fallon. It is a scam, no such email has been sent from the Parish! Delete it ASAP!
Becoming Catholic? Are you interested in coming closer to Christ by becoming Catholic? Or are you a baptized Catholic who needs Holy Communion or Confirmation? In the Fall we will begin classes (called: The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults or RCIA ). Formation classes are also open to anyone who would simply like to learn more about our faith. Classes occur once a week on Sunday mornings. After the completion of study, sacraments are conferred at the Easter Vigil in the Spring. Call the rectory for further information: 947-1873 or email: sgbrectory@gmail.com.
