Concerned about more than 40% showing up?
Yesterday we mentioned an online resource called SignUpGenius.com in the Frequently Asked Questions Flocknote. It took 5 minutes to create a FREE account - and another 5 minutes to set up a sign up schedule for a weekend's worth of Masses. Click the button below and watch a brief step-by-step tutorial produced by Ray Delisle.
More FAQs
Here are a couple of questions that came up today.
What if a person says they cannot wear a mask for medical reasons?
If a person cannot wear a mask or face covering for medical reasons they should be allowed to enter and should not be required to provide written proof.
Is the maximum capacity as simple as 40%?
No. You must factor in whether people can stay at least 6 feet apart. If skipping just one pew doesn't keep to 6 feet then you may need to skip multiple pews. Each parish must decide what its safe capacity would be and make that the "published" limit.
