After careful consideration and consultation with Catholic medical professionals, Diocesan guidelines for parishes have been updated by Bishop Rhoades.
We are now allowed to open most pews to accommodate the increase in parishioners attending Holy Mass - with 3-foot distance between people within the pews, aside from immediate family members who can sit together.
We will continue to offer a section of taped off pews on the Blessed Mother side (choir side) with 6-foot distancing to ensure that the Church can minister to the Faithful who are most vulnerable to the virus and still wish to participate in Holy Mass.
Masks are still required to be worn while in the building, including throughout Mass and in the Gathering Area.
We appreciate your cooperation in following Bishop Rhoades updated parish guidelines.
Blessed Easter,
Fr. Dave Voors and Your Parish Staff
