Daily Mass Schedule

and Tuesday at 7:00PM
230 person maximum. 
Masks must be worn.

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

1)  **UPDATE** A MAXIMUM of 230 people will be permitted at each Mass, on a first come, first served basis.  Ushers will have to refuse further entry once we have reached our maximum!

2) Masks MUST be worn
(except for very young children 
at parents' discretion.)

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.

7) The distribution of Holy Communion will take place AFTER the Mass is completely finished at weekend Masses to minimize movement throughout the church.

Note: Fr. Charlie will continue producing the recorded Masses for a while longer to accommodate those who are unable to enter and those who are at greater risk during the pandemic.
