Dear Sacred Heart Parishioners:
We are moving towards that day when we can all be together celebrating public weekend and weekday Masses. Unfortunately, we do not know that exact date yet. We are following the guidelines set forth by State and Local officials, and those of the Archdiocese of Washington.
We have developed guidelines for attending Mass and I wanted to share those with you today. They are attached to this flocknote. The guidelines are quite extensive, and I ask that you read through the attachment very carefully. The guidelines are in accordance with the Archdiocese of Washington procedures which can be viewed at the ADW Website (LINK). Also, I would like to draw your attention to Archbishop Gregory’s latest video.
It is important to remember that the return to Masses will be a challenge for all of us and we must all remain patient as we work through the details and revise our procedures as needed.
We will rely on a lot of parishioners to volunteer as ushers and cleaning crews (another email will follow asking for volunteers with specific instructions).
As always, please be assure of my prayers for each of you and those affected by the coronavirus.
Through prayer and patience, we will get through this ever-evolving situation.
Peace,
Father Potts
