Below is the letter addressed to St. Luke Parish regarding a liturgical minister who tested positive for Covid-19. 

The sobering data, the grim numbers in Douglas-Pirtleville area prompted me and Fr. Marco to temporarily suspend the public celebration of Sunday Masses until further notice. Possible re-opening/restoration to in-person worship (indoor) will be based mostly (granted it's in keeping with the diocesan protocols) on the downward trajectory of cases, the collaboration of the volunteers and the cooperation of the community in regards to the observance of safety precautions. Below is the letter addressed to the Catholic Community posted in social media early this week

I personally extend my prayerful support to those who have been afflicted by Covid-19 and still battling with it including their families and those who take care of them. My fervent prayers for the eternal repose of those who have died of Coronavirus especially members of our very own communities. My sincere condolences to the bereaved families, relatives and friends. 

We pray for the eternal repose of the souls of the parishioners who recently passed away and offer condolences, sympathy and consolation to the grieving families, relatives and friends. Rest assured, they are included in the prayers of the gathered community. 

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
