“Pentecost, the Greek word for fi=y, originally began as a celebra4on in thanksgiving for the ’firs?ruits,’ when winter grains
and spring vegetables were harvested, enjoyed, and offered to God. For Chris4ans, Jesus is the ’firs?ruits’ of those who
have died (1 Corinthians 15:23). His Resurrec4on heralds our own at the end of 4me. For now, we live as Chris4ans in the
world, empowered by his Spirit of peace and forgiveness. While Pentecost concludes Easter Time, the gi= of the Holy Spirit
compels us to resound with Easter joys for days to come.”

It’s easy, but if you have a problem,
contact Suzie in the office. Yes, you

Temporary Parish Office Hours June 1 through July 3 the parish
office will be closed on Mondays and Fridays. We will be open
Tuesday through Thursday each week, 9am to 2pm.
Phase 1 Reopening Plan! Transfigura4on will begin offering public
Masses again beginning the weekend of June 6-7. These Masses
will be by invita4on only, so that we may ensure that we are follow-
ing social distancing guidelines. Each Sunday we will post a Google
Form to our website, Facebook page and we will send the link
through our MailChimp list for the next weekend Masses. In order
to be considered for an invita4on to a public Mass, you must fill out
the Google Form each week (filling out the Google Form is not an
invita4on and does not guarantee a spot at your preferred Mass).
Invita4ons will go out no later than Friday each week. Please re-
member that the dispensa on from the obliga on to a#end Sun-
day Mass is s ll in place for everyone. Please do not come to
church if you do not feel comfortable doing so and our high-risk
parishioners are strongly encouraged to stay at home. There are
quite a few guidelines in place in order to a7end Mass and these
guidelines will be detailed in the Google Form and were communi-
cated to the parish via a mailing this past week.
Mass & Livestream Schedules Beginning June 6th, we will return to
our normal Mass schedule each week. Saturday Vigil will be at 4:30
p.m. and Sunday Mass will be at 8:30 a.m. Only the 8:30 a.m. Mass
will con4nue to be livestreamed to our Facebook page as long as
there are restric4ons in place that prohibit who can a7end Mass in
person. Wednesday and First Friday Masses will return to 10:00
a.m. and will be livestreamed only un4l further no4ce.
Online Giving We at Transfigura4on want to express our hear?elt
gra4tude for the con4nued financial stewardship of parishioners
and friends during this difficult 4me. With public Masses suspend-
ed, we are asking families to move their financial support online at
offertory.richmonddiocese.org. On the giving page, choose “Church
of the Transfigura4on” in the dropdown list. Please consider seRng
up a recurring gi= to help our parish for the future. Thank you!
Parish Email List We use MailChimp for our large parish email list.

forma4on out to all of our parishioners. If you are not receiving
emails from the parish, contact the parish office to be added.
