INDOOR MASSES
DURING THE PANDEMIC
There are several important restrictions so that we can celebrate safely:

1)The Sign of Peace will continue to take place
without physical contact.
2) The Chapel is now available to all
3) The wearing of masks is now optional
for those fully vaccinated
4) The section of pews on the choir side of the church will continue to be taped off (every other pew)
for those not yet vaccinated
or others wishing to observe social distancing.
