The Diocese of Rockville Centre has announced it will be suspending all Masses, weekday and weekend, meetings and non-essential activities in parishes until April 14.

The suspension includes all confirmations, first communions and first confessions. When the events are rescheduled, they will be announced by local parishes.

Funerals and weddings may be permitted, if necessary, but should be limited to immediate family and remain under 50 people in attendance. Baptisms should also be postponed unless absolutely necessary and should observe the same limits.

Holy Week and Easter Liturgies are also suspended. However, those will be televised and available online.
