• The dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass is still in effect.  If you are sick at all, vulnerable, elderly or still hesitant to come to a gathering  you may stay home and watch the live-stream on our Facebook page. Parishioners will also be able to tune to 95.5FM from the parking lot to hear our Saturday Vigil and Sunday Masses.
• The Bishop has asked people forgo receiving Holy Communion on the tongue during this time. There will be no communion distributed outside. Those who watch the live stream from their vehicles will offer a spiritual communion with the priest after communion from the safety of your location. 
• Confessions are Thursdays at 6 PM and Wednesday from 5 PM until 6 PM just inside the church main entrance. On Wednesday, the side doors will be locked until 6 PM. After the last confession, the church will be opened for the 6:30 PM mass. *Wednesday Adoration will end at 4:30 PM, the church will then be closed and cleaned for the confessions.
• Confessions will take place just inside the three entrances to the church. One person may enter confession at a time. Social distancing outside the church will need to be maintained.
• Adoration is Monday at 10 AM to 6 PM, Wednesday 10 AM-4:30 PM and Friday 10 AM to 12 PM.
• It is required that everyone over 2 years of age who attends mass to wears a face mask.  If you are having trouble acquiring one, please visit the CDC instructions www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/diy-cloth-face-coverings.html or please see an Usher when you arrive.
• **Children 2 and under do not have to wear a mask.. The wearing of masks and face-coverings has helped greatly in preventing the spread of the coronavirus among the members of our community. The COVID-19 virus is passed along by tiny droplets of moisture that are released through our respiration. A mask covering our mouth and nose greatly inhibits and minimizes the passing of these droplets. We must think first of the good of our neighbor. People will not be seated without wearing a mask. We must err on the side of caution and of protecting those who are most vulnerable to the dangerous effects of COVID-19 out of an authentic love for our neighbor—a love that befits the selfless love of Christ extended to us in the gift of the Eucharist. If you do not desire to wear a mask for any reason, please stay home. The current state of the pandemic dispenses you from the obligation to attend Mass.
• We will have a special Mass for those who are most vulnerable  at 7:00 AM on Sunday
• Ushers will be in attendance to ensure that there is proper spacing between each family in attendance, assist with arrival and dismissal from the mass.
• Cleaning and sanitizing will be completed between each mass. Hymnals and other worship aids will not be present and collection plates will not be passed. There will be no exchange of the sign of peace. 
• The nursery will not be open at this point. 

We will begin celebrating public Masses on Saturday at 4:00pm and 5:30pm.  Sunday – 7:00am (for elderly and vulnerable), 9:00am, 11:00am, 1:00pm Spanish, and 5:00pm as well as daily Mass. We will have overflow Masses in the PAC/Gym and the Parish Hall at the Saturday 4:00pm Mass, and Sunday at 9:00am and 11:00am
