Public Masses are coming back! Thanks be to God!
We look forward to seeing you, but please keep in mind the following guidelines:
Sunday Obligation: The obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains suspended. Those who feel sick should stay home, as well those who are at greater risk for Covid-19 (those older than 65 or who have underlying health conditions).
Limited Seating: For the time being, we are only allowed to seat 25% of the church capacity. There will have to be a cutoff if that capacity is reached. Please be understanding if this happens. We are doing our best to offer the sacraments while keeping everyone safe.
Precautions: Bring a mask and wear it. Maintain a six-foot distance from others and avoid physical contact. Use the available hand sanitizers. There will be only one entrance of the church open to maintain social distancing. Please do not seat yourselves. We will have extra ushers at the entrance who will promptly guide you to your seat.
Holy Communion: Remember that no one is obligated to receive Holy Communion. Receive only if you are properly disposed and have no health concerns. Please maintain social distancing in the Holy Communion procession. Remove your mask immediately before receiving Holy Communion and replace it immediately after. You are not allowed to receive Holy Communion in the hand while wearing gloves.
Bathrooms: Because of ongoing Covid-19 concerns, public restrooms will not be available.
Mass Schedule: For the week of 6/22, the Mass schedule is as follows:
Wednesday, 6/24: 12:00 p.m.
Thursday, 6/25: 12:00 p.m.
Sunday, 6/28: 12:15 p.m.
Going forward, the schedule may change depending on attendance and availability of priests. Please check the website for the most updated schedule.
Volunteers: Remember to thank our ushers and essential workers, who are here for your safety. Without them, we could not have kept the church open during the pandemic and we would not now be resuming the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. Please show them your gratitude when you see them!
