Regarding Pandemic Procedures
- Catholics will continue to be dispensed from Sunday Mass and Holy Day Masses for the foreseeable future. While public Masses will resume, vulnerable populations, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions are asked to follow the most up to date health regulations and remain at home. There are many who might feel uncomfortable returning to Mass. They, too, have legitimate reason to remain at home. **IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ANY SYMPTOMS OF ILLNESS (NOT ALLERGIES), YOU MUST STAY HOME. **
- HYGIENE: Both churches will be sanitized after every Mass or event. To ensure everyone's safety, parish staff or volunteers will sanitize commonly touched surfaces and pews before and after every celebration of Mass. Parishioners will be expected to sanitize their hands immediately upon entry to the church. (Hand sanitizer station will be located as you enter the main body of the church). Likewise, masks are strongly encouraged to be worn while inside, especially if six feet distances cannot be maintained. (Please note, the diocesan regulations discourage the priest from wearing masks during the Mass). The priest will sanitize his hands before distributing Holy Communion. The use of Extraordinary Ministers will be suspended for the foreseeable future. Communion may still be received on the tongue (which is more sanitary), but those who wish to receive in this manner should wait until the end on the communion line. Also, individuals are NOT required to receive the Eucharist at every Mass. One can refrain from receiving Holy Communion and make an act of spiritual communion instead. **The guidelines state that masks and gloves are NOT to be worn when receiving communion!
- Please note a few other liturgical adaptations; The offertory gifts will not be brought forward by the family and the sign of peace will no longer be offered at Mass. Pew missals will be removed as will Holy Water from the fonts. The weekly collection will be taken in a safe manner. However, parishioners are encouraged to utilize online giving or “mail-in” their offerings to the parish office as much as possible.
