The Current Health Crisis, the Church and Online Tools

Due to the COVID 19 outbreak, all public celebrations of the Mass have been canceled across the Diocese, and all parish events, meetings, and classes have been canceled in both the Moscow and Genesee Parish.

We strongly encourage every Moscow parishioner to sign up to receive notifications from the parish through Flocknote. This communication platform allows us to send email and text message notifications to our parishioners (without blowing up your phone with group text replies). Please visit https://smpm.flocknote.com to sign up for parish notifications. For our Genesee parishioners, Mary Bielenberg is in direct communication with the Parish Office and will be keeping you up to date using the Genesee Parish Email List.

We also encourage our Moscow parishioners to consider our Online Giving program. Online giving allows you to make recurring donations (so you never have to worry about forgetting your envelope!) or one-time donations (if you are staying home sick and don’t want to do recurring donations). Giving online can also help to protect parish staff and volunteers from handling money that may be carrying germs. Please give serious thought to using this online tool. You can sign up for online giving at https://osvhub.com/stmarysparishmoscow. For our Genesee parishioners, please send your regular offertory donations to Mary Bielenberg for deposit. Please contact her directly to get her mailing address.
