My Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Once again Masks will be mandatory indoors on premises at St. Julie’s regardless of your vaccination status beginning at the 5:00pm Saturday evening Vigil Mass, July 17th, 2021.
This is mandatory and complete compliance is required from all members of our compassionate community of St. Julie Billiart. While this may seem like a nuisance and unreasonable mandate, the fact is many are still dying of this dreaded ever evolving virus and the mandate will be enforced.
To the vaccinated, do not be troubled or angered at your brothers and sisters that are not vaccinated, be patient and forgiving. We are called to respect all life from womb to tomb and not to place blame. Please consider this a time to pick up your cross of “a mask” and love your neighbor.
To the unvaccinated, please remember that we are a Respect Life Church and do everything possible to protect life from womb to tomb. Please consider picking up your cross and loving your neighbor through all means available.
To all, this is not up for a social, political debate, we are where we are. Let us all make a difference and do whatever we are called to do and help stomp out this disease and protect our re emerging economy, our children that have suffered so much, and keep our families continuing to reunite in person after 18 months of isolation.
Let us ALL make and be the difference this time and avoid future shutdowns and staggering death tolls to the unvaccinated.
In the Peace of Christ,
Fr. Ian-Vincent
