- “Social distancing of a minimum of 6 feet between people not living in the same household or arriving in the same group must be followed.”
- For the past two weekends, we have had a “full house” at Mass and although we will find room for everyone on Easter Sunday, we will still have to use every other pew, unless you have a “household” that will take more than one. Then we will consider opening up additional space.
- If you find that people are closer than you feel comfortable with, let the usher know. We will try to accommodate you and/or them. However, please ask before entering into a pew that already has some people. We want to try to respect everyone’s space.
- “Congregational singing will be allowed” So if anyone has time to help move hymnals upstairs Wed. evening, We will “SING” for Easter.
- We do need help with Good Friday – an extra Lector is needed and so is a Eucharistic Minister. Also, a Mass server would be nice to assist Msgr. Heiting in moving things around.
- We will also continue to distribute Communion as we do, with the front half of church going forward and the back half of church going to the back of church. Soon we will return to two parallel lines, as long as we respect the “social distancing” when coming forward. Thanks for all you do to keep each other safe and our parish functioning.
It will be good to celebrate together this Easter!!!! Joyce
Covid-19 Update
GATHERING GUIDELINES: As we continue to gather as a church family, we want to remind everyone to assist us in keeping everyone safe. To do so, we ask that everyone wear a mask, that you sanitize your hands when you enter church, and that you remember to observe the “6 ft social distancing” guidelines when entering, exiting and during communion. We are now allowed to open to every other pew if needed. We have pews marked which can be
used.
