We are ready to welcome you back to the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
 
Masses will be celebrated as follows:

• Anyone who is not sick or has not been in contact with someone who is sick.
• Anyone whose immune system is not compromised or vulnerable.
• Please know that the obligation to attend Mass has been lifted until further notice.
• Masses will continue to be offered on-line via this website or Facebook.

• Please bring your own mask. Masks are required for ages 3 and above at all times. Your nose and mouth must be covered as you enter the church, while at Mass and remain covered until you leave the building.
• If possible, please bring your own hand sanitizer.
• Please enter through the handicap ramp on Eliot Avenue.
• Arrive early so we have time to seat each household individually.
• Seating will be facilitated by the ushers, please follow their instructions.
• Seating spaces are marked appropriately, seating is limited to 25% capacity.
• If we reach capacity in the church, there will be additional seating in the gym. We will project the Mass on a screen and distribute Communion there.

• Keep your mask on, covering your nose and mouth at all times.
• Keep social distancing –at least 6’ apart- throughout the celebration of Mass.
• No hymnals or worship aids will be used.
• No physical contact with anyone who is not in your family. No sign of peace.
• Communion should be received in the hand, without wearing gloves.
• When forming the line to receive, follow the markings on the floor and stay 6’ apart.
• Keep your nose and mouth covered as you approach the priest or Communion minister. Answer “AMEN” with your mask on. Then move to the side -to the next floor marking, gently lift your mask and consume the host. Put the mask on again and return to your seat, maintaining social distancing.
• There will be no distribution of the Precious Blood.

• Unfortunately, at this time priests will not be able to greet parishioners after Mass.
• Ushers will dismiss you row by row.
• Please maintain social distancing as you leave the church.
• Please do not congregate; once dismissed proceed to your car or exit the premises.

• The Mass itself and homilies will be shortened where possible to allow time to clean the church in between Masses.
