Required precautions for Mass attendance:

Everyone age 10 and up, AND each child under 10 who will be receiving communion, must bring and wear a mask.

By making a reservation, you are agreeing that you will not enter the building if you, or a member of your household, have symptoms of COVID-19 or have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 14 days.

Please bring your own hand sanitizer to use before and after communion.

Arrive no earlier than 30 minutes before Mass.

Please be prompt; late arrivals cannot be accommodated even if you have a reservation.

You will be seated by an usher.

You are asked to refrain from singing. (CDC studies have shown that the deep breathing required for singing increases the risk of spreading COVD-19.)

There will be no physical contact (hugging, hand-holding, shaking hands) during the sign of peace or the Lord’s Prayer.

An usher will dismiss you for communion; follow the markings on the floor to maintain social distancing.

Keep your mask on for communion. Please receive the host in your hand and then step aside to move your mask and consume the host. Replace your mask before returning to your seat.

Please remain at your seat after Mass until you are dismissed and directed where to exit the church.

You must leave the Church building immediately upon the conclusion of Mass so sanitizing can begin.

Restroom capacity will be limited; we recommend you refrain from restroom visits when possible.
