Weekday Masses will begin on Monday, June 29th at 6:45 am and 9:00 am. Sunday Masses will begin on the weekend of July 4th & 5th, 2020. Our regular Sunday schedule:  Saturday - 5:00 pm.  Sunday - 8:30 am, 10:00 am (Polish) and 11:30 am. Our Lower Church is open for private prayer everyday from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm.

All CDC and Diocese guidelines are to be followed. As you enter the church you will be asked to sanitize your hands and wear a face covering. You may only sit where you see the green tape on the pews. This enables us to have social distancing and 25% capacity. 

At this time we are offering confessions on Saturday afternoon from 4:00 pm until 4:45 pm. They will be heard in the garden of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Parishioners who wish to have confession at a different time should contact the Parish Office to schedule an appointment.

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

Since Monday, June 29, 2020, St. Adalbert’s Church is re-open for daily Masses. Weekend Masses begin today, July 4th. We come together again to be nourished by the spiritual food we have been desperately waiting for. Catholics in Brooklyn and Queens have been longing for the celebration of Mass and to receive the Holy Eucharist. We can finally once again safely receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion.

We are back in church for all Masses and practicing “social distancing” dealing with masks and sanitizing our hands. We are once again doing Baptisms and Funerals observing, of course, the protocols of social distancing, etc.

I am asking all parishioners to invite those who are able to come to Mass and begin the tradition to “new normal”. Of course, the elderly and vulnerable should not be “pushed” in any way to come! But spread the word! We are very much “open for business”! Very much wanting to see all our people!

Today we celebrate 244^th Birthday of our country. Let us pause and express our special thanks to our heavenly Father who has blessed us with freedom, love, peace and joy in this wonderful country. Happy 244th Independence Day America!

God Bless you all,

Fr. Mirek

A prayer in a time of coronavirus

Keep us, o Lord, under the shadow of your mercy in this time of uncertainty and distress. Sustain and support the anxious and fearful, and lift up all who are brought low; that we may rejoice in your comfort knowing that nothing can separate us from your love. 
God of compassion, be close to those who are ill, afraid or in isolation. Comfort and heal them, and restore them to health and strength. Gracious God, bless doctors, nurses and medical staff, give them skills, sympathy and resilience as they care for the sick, and your wisdom to those searching for a cure. Strengthen them with your Spirit, that through their work many will be restored to health. 
We are your people God, giving and loving, help us to put our trust in you and keep us safe. Amen.
