Take out Turkey Dinner

It will be the 4th Saturday in October, the 22nd. Some things you need to know: the people who used to donate our vegetables have retired, (so we are looking for another place to obtain the potatoes and squash. If you know where we can get 100 lbs of each…). Also, because the price of meat has gone up, we will charge $14.00 per dinner. As always, we need to sell at least 100 meals. If you want to order meals, please, write a check to Our Lady of the Hills with TURKEY DINNER written in the memo section. The cut off date to get your order in is MONDAY, October 10th (Columbus Day) as that is the day we have to order the turkey. We can NOT guarantee a meal will be available if payment has not been received by then. Thank you.

Mask Mandate Has Been Lifted

As of March 15th, per order of the Willaimsburg Board of Healath, the mask wearing is optional in public buildings.  If you will continue to were a mask, you might feel more comfortable sitting on the left side as you face the altar in the pews in the first few rows in front of the tabernacle.  It isn't necessary, but it is an option.

Revised Covied Guidelines as of February 22, 2022

With the latest COVID rates continuing to decline significantly, local and state officials have begun to relax COVID restrictions including mask wearing. Based on this trend the following guidance is offered to the parishes of the Diocese of Springfield.

1. Mask wearing requirements should be discontinued as allowed by your local town/city officials. Some parishioners may continue to voluntarily wear masks and that decision should be respected.

2. Altar servers, lector and music ministers can be fully restored to their ministry without any restrictions.

3. Holy Water fonts may be restored immediately. Some parishes may opt to restore fonts at the Easter Vigil at the blessing of the Holy Water. Some parishes have explored touch free dispensers- this could be a possible long-term solution for the comfort of some parishioners

4. Meetings, socials and other parish gatherings may be resumed as long as this is in compliance with local regulations.
