Hello everyone,

This is a quick update regarding some changes the parish is making in regards to the coronavirus outbreak and some quick reminders of upcoming events.

The changes are intended to be proactive measures. As far as we know there is no major cause for concern in our area as of yet. As events develop we will let you know of any further changes.

The smallest and possibly the most important point is: Please stay home if you are feeling ill! If you or someone in your home has health issues that may put them at greater risk if infected: Stay home. The health and wellness of you and your family is important. Attendance is encouraged at youth group, but it is not mandatory.

This Weekend!

March 15th

Coffee & Donuts. We are in charge this Sunday! Check out the list below and help fill in the blanks, if you can, using the poll below. Please remember to wash your hands as you come in and grab a pair of gloves. We will need to serve the donuts with tongs to discourage people from grabbing donuts off the plates. If you are feeling ill, please stay home.

Adoration. We will hold the Adoration service this weekend as planned. Please feel free to spread out in the church as you feel appropriate. If you can arrive a few minutes early to help greet people as they enter and hand out rosaries please do so! We will be praying the Our Father in Spanish and English as well as singing some bi-lingual songs. If you are fluent (or not so fluent) in Spanish please come help us out!

Please join us for refreshments after! I had been planning on serving tacos. In light of concerns over the virus I have decided change to some St. Patrick day snacks instead. I hope to reduce the risk of sharing cooties by eliminating communal food containers and serving utensils.

For the Future!

We are signed up to help with Prayer, Bread and Soup on Wednesday, March 25 along with the Faith Formation board. Effective immediately Fr. Steve has decided to eliminate the "Bread & Soup" portion. We will still gather to pray the Stations of the Cross together, everyone is welcome to spread out in the church as the feel appropriate, but we will not be having dinner after. I hope you all will still join us and support Suellen Rice who volunteered to help read.

Regularly scheduled youth nights will continue for now. Again, if you are feeling ill, or if someone in your household is at high risk, please stay home as you need. We will be taking some extra precautions to help reduce spread as well.

I have disposed of all the communal snacks. Moving forward all the snacks will be in single serve packages.
If we are a large group, we will move to the Social Hall or spread out into multiple class rooms.
Everyone is encouraged to wash their hands as they come in or make use of the hand sanitizers.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns please let me know.
