3) Social Distancing is REQUIRED
except for families sitting together.

4) Offertory Collection -  we will place baskets at the end of the aisles to receive your parish contribution
*** thank you! *** 
the ushers will not take up the collection
at this time for the safety of all.

5) Sign of Peace will take place
without physical contact.

6) The Chapel will be available for seating of ONE special needs family per Mass (for safety reasons.) Please call the Parish Office  to reserve the Chapel if you have a special needs situation.
