MASS during covid-19

---

Mass Protocols

• Mass is celebrated in the Parish Hall. 

• There are only 65 seats available per Mass to allow us to follow the required physical-distancing protocols. 

• Registration to attend Mass is required, no exceptions.

• Face masks are required as is confirmation of registration (email) to enter the building. Gloves and sanitizer are recommended. You will be required to submit to a non-contact temperature check at the door before entering. 

• The door (parish office entrance) will be opened 30 minutes before Mass and closed 5 minutes prior to the start of Mass. If you arrive later than this you will find that there will be no one at the door, which is locked to the outside, to open it, check you in and take your temperature - you will have to be on time.

• Please read the Scriptures for the Mass before you come, bring your own publication or download the Scriptures onto your electronic device, as there are no missalettes available. 

• Cardinal DiNardo has mandated that Holy Communion not be offered on the tongue under any circumstances. Only Fr. Niall will distribute Holy Communion to each person at his/her seat; there will be no Communion line. Once Fr. Niall moves to the next person, then remove your face mask and consume the Eucharist and re-mask. 

• Exiting will be row by row through the two fire doors to the right and left of the stage.

Please note that Cardinal DiNardo’s dispensation from Sunday Mass obligation remains in place. This is particularly important for those parishioners who are older (younger people are not immune as we are discovering) or may have underlying health conditions, making them more vulnerable to experiencing an adverse outcome should they become infected. 

Weekend Mass Schedule

Saturday, 4:00 PM 

Sunday, 8:00 AM, 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM 

Weekday Mass Schedule

Tuesday-Friday, 9:00 AM 

Registration opens at least 24 hours prior to the specific Mass and closes 2 hours prior to the start of Mass.. Each individual needs a separate registration. This will ensure we have a record of those who attend Mass should we need to “Contact Trace.” 

Let us continue to be responsible for the health and well-being of one another.
