Weekday and weekend Masses have resumed with the following safety protocols in place.
The obligation to attend Sunday Mass is still lifted. You are not obliged to attend Mass for now.
If you are feeling ill or vulnerable to illness; or feel that you might be physically or emotionally stressed by attending Mass, please stay at home.
We ask that you sign your family in as you enter church, maintaining the 6 foot social distancing, in case it’s needed for future reference. (Someone contracts the illness, it can be tracked and folks tested for the virus). Family groups do not need to maintain social distancing.
Wear a face covering at all times. Please bring you own if you have one.
Use hand sanitizer provided at the entrances on entering and exiting the church.
Help is needed with sanitizing pews, door handles, bathrooms, etc. after Mass.
Limited number of people at each Mass 25% of occupancy (60-65 persons) per the governor’s orders. Until we come up with a better way to conform to the guidelines, (alphabetized list, sign-up, etc.) people may be turned away.
Pews are taped off at safe distances – remember social distancing at Communion time or when entering/leaving church.
Missalettes and Hymnals have been removed from the pews. However a supply is available as you enter church. If you want to use one for Mass, please take it home with you for use the next time. Do not leave it in the pew.
Holy water fonts are empty.
No offertory procession or sign of peace. The long handled baskets will be used to take up the collection or baskets will be available in the back of church.
Communion in the hand only. No distribution of the Precious Blood.
These same guidelines apply to folks who wish to attend daily Mass, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.
According to the Archbishop, parishioners should attend Mass at the parish in which they are registered or normally attend.
Mass is not to exceed 45 minutes.
Ministers at Mass:
1 lector 1 or 2 servers
Deacon George will be at all 3 Masses, so Eucharistic Ministers are not needed.
Musicians are limited to Cantor and Accompanist, if available. NO choir. The congregation is asked not to sing to prevent possible droplet contamination.
Greeters will ask people to sign the attendance book and take up the collection, if comfortable doing so.
