What guidelines do parishioners need to observe while in church?
Parishioners, please wash your hands at home. If you carry a bottle of hand sanitizer in the car, we ask you to use it before you enter the Church.
All members of the congregation need to wear masks.
The priest in the sanctuary does not need to wear a mask if strict socially distancing is maintained.
Lectors and those assisting with the distribution of Holy Communion must wear masks and disinfect their hands before and after exercising their ministry.
There is no public access to the sacristy while the church is open. There will be no social gatherings either before or after Mass.
Absolutely no access to the bathrooms or the nursery.
If someone must leave their pew they will not be allowed to return to same pew, to avoid crossing over other people.
Those that live together at home may sit together at the Church, otherwise you maintain social distancing.
