Just a quick reminder of the changes that you'll see when you come into church this weekend:
- Facemasks will not be required; however, if anyone is still uncomfortable with not wearing a facemask they are certainly welcome to continue wearing them - during Communion, the ministers distributing the Eucharist will be wearing their masks
- Social distancing will not be observed.
- All pews will be available and no reservations will be taken
- For those who still wish to use social distancing, the parish hall will have livestream and EMHCs will distribute Communion
- Outdoor Communion will be discontinued
- Livestreaming of the Mass for the benefit of the homebound and those unable to join us due to illness, infirmity or distance will continue to be offered on the parish YouTube channel at (http://www.youtube.com/c/VisitationRomanCatholicChurch)
- The dispensation from the obligation of attending Sunday and holyday Mass has ended except for the cases noted in last the Flocknotes posting found at (https://churchofthevisitation.flocknote.com/everyone/note/12328439)
- We will have Exposition, Procession and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament around the church (weather permitting) following the 11AM Mass this weekend. We hope that you are able to join us!

Sunday 9AM Live-stream Mass
Although the dispensation from Sunday Mass will end this weekend, for those who are unable to come to church due to illness, infirmity or distance we will continue to offer live streamed Mass on Sundays at 9AM. Please note that outdoor Communion following this Mass will no longer be offered due to diocesan decree.
Faith At Home for the month of June focuses on returning to Mass in person and providing tools for all families to connect to the faith.
May God continue to bless us and keep us close to Him.
