Please note our parish guidelines for Mass:

• The bishop has directed all the faithful that the Sunday obligation to attend Mass continues to be dispensed. In other words, no one is required to attend Mass during this time of pandemic. It is still recommended that those who are 65 and older or are vulnerable should remain at home.
• We ask all families to remain at least 6 feet apart from other people during the liturgy.
• The ushers will be present to ensure social distancing during communion as well as entering and exiting the church.
• The collection basket will be located at the entrance to the building. It will not be passed around during the liturgy.
• The sign of peace will be temporarily suspended.
• During the Lord’s Prayer, handholding will not be permitted.
• All Eucharistic ministers will sanitize their hands before and after distributing communion.
• We invite you to bring hand sanitizer with you to Mass.
• Everyone over the age of 2 must wear a mask throughout the entire Mass, other than the moment of receiving the Body of Christ. Parishioners should bring their own masks. Masks will not be provided.
• Out of concern for the health of others, Holy Communion will be received in the hand only without gloves.
• For the time being, we will not have altar servers during our Masses.
• Hymnals are temporarily removed.
• The Cultural Center and the Palmer gym will both be sanitized between Masses.
• If you have any symptoms, are feeling sick at all, sneezing, or coughing or have recently traveled out of state, we kindly ask that you stay at home.
