BASKETBALL RETURNS
Last Wednesday we completed our High School Basketball “May Madness” League. Seventy-five players were registered on six teams.
It was a big success.
All NYS and DOH protocols were followed.
It was an exciting, productive, safe, and fun healthy time.
The Gold team (7-1) came in First Place.
Congratulations to the players, the coaches, and fans.
Another High School Basketball league begins July 6th.

EASING OF PANDEMIC RESTRICTIONS AT RESURRECTION
- As you know Covid-19 restrictions were eased on May 19th. We can now consider meaningful limited reopening and return of our parish Masses and activities.
- The DOH still recommends masks and social distancing inside Church for all individuals. We will continue wearing masks and social distancing until further notice as a precaution for the safety and health of parishioners and guests.
- THE MISSALETTES ARE BACK -
The Gloria is on page 11
2 Readings page 17-18
Gospel page 19
Profession of Faith p. 79
Hymnbook is next to the missalettes.
We highly recommend using the missalettes during mass.
- Please note that there are new guidelines for the distribution of Holy Communion effective TODAY.
- We have already resumed Altar Servers, Lectors, and Choir.
- We will continue to engage in enhanced cleaning of the Church and bathrooms. A porter will continue on duty at all Masses.
- We are encouraged that we are on the verge of turning the corner.
- The ability to practice our faith and administer the sacraments at Resurrection during the pandemic was possible because we had the cooperation and support of our parishioners and visitors. Thank you!
- After we are given the go-ahead we hope and pray that we will close this chapter on the pandemic and return to our normal way of living very soon.
- Of course, we are mindful of the well-being of our people. We are not making any hasty decisions yet.
- Thank you for your cooperation and attention during the past tumultuous year. Our people have been amazing!

MEMORIAL DAY PRAYER
On this Memorial Day, we pray for those who courageously laid down their lives for the cause of freedom. May the examples of their sacrifice inspire in us the selfless love of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Bless the families of our fallen troops, and fill their homes and their lives with your strength and peace.
In union with people of goodwill of every nation, embolden us to answer the call to work for peace and justice, and thus, seek an end to violence and conflict around the globe.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Gospel: Matthew 28:16-20
Jesus asks his disciples to go to other nations and teach others all that they have learned. He asks that these new followers be baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
SUPPORT FOR INDIA
The people of India are suffering because COVID-19 has ravaged their country and has been increasing over the last several weeks.
Many are suffering and dying with over 400,000 confirmed new cases. There have been 240,000 deaths! It is a serious and grave situation.
India may be halfway around the world from New York but it is our neighbor in the Catholic church community.
There are serious shortages of oxygen, ventilators, and ICU space.
Our parish has made a sizable donation.
If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation contact:

or call 800-442-6392
We have been blessed with so many priests and people in our Catholic family who have come from India.
We can’t forget them-they are not alone!
COMMUNION RETURNS TO THE USUAL TIME
We are resuming the usual procedure for Holy Communion. We receive Holy Communion after the “Lamb of God”.
