    Romeos, Welcome!    Jason's Deli, 1:00, Friday. May 28.  Required: vaccines, mask for entrance & departure. 

     

    All of you who attended Mass this past Sunday are welcomed this Sunday.  We were circa 35 people.   Another 10 would fit in comfortably.  It seemed safe enough and time for us to take off our masks this Sunday.  It was exhilarating!  Feedback?  One head's up: be conservative on hugging for the Sign of Peace.  Not everybody is ready yet for hugs.
