Here at Holy Trinity, we are making the following changes:
• The Holy Water fonts will remain empty.
• The distribution of the Precious Blood for the faithful is suspended.
• Holy Communion will only be distributed in the hand.
• The exchange of the sign of peace is to be offered without any physical contact. Bowing is suggested.

Remember to turn your clocks ahead Saturday night.


Remember your compassion, O Lord,
and your merciful love, for they are from of old.
Let not your enemies exult over us.
Redeem us, O God of Israel, from all our distress.
Cf. Psalm 25 (24): 6,2, 22
