Masses

Much thought has gone into how we could gradually reopen our Church to the sacraments in a safe way.  Many considerations have been weighed and discussed to provide the safest communal Masses under current threats of coronavirus.  Here are some of the guidelines that we are going to be asking of everyone to be in compliance with guidelines from the diocese and meet our goals of a safe participation in the Mass based on each individual’s unique circumstances.  Please be patient and respect the needs of our community to provide safe sacramental opportunities.  We are all hopeful this is just a beginning.

Communion

We will be giving communion out during the Mass.  Once the Priest consumes, if you wish to have communion, please make sure your mask is in place and stand.  The Priest and EM will come to you.  Please lift your mask and consume, place your mask back on, and you may sit down.  The priest will then conclude the mass with the Final Blessing.  Please note that we are still urging you to keep a six foot social distance from your neighbor when you are exiting the facility.
