Our regular Mass & Confession Schedule will resume Sunday, June 7th

Because of the capacity of our church and the size of our parish, we do not need to have sign up. If a non-parishioner asks if they can come to Sunday Mass, they must come to the 11:00 Mass.

Please enter through the door on St. Joseph side. Family will be given one disinfectant wipe by greeter to wipe down their pew.

At the time a second collection would normally be taken, the ushers will come and give you a fresh disinfectant wipe to clean pew before you leave. You may exit through any door but do not crowd. Please maintain social distancing when leaving church. Wait for the pathway to clear before leaving your pew. You may have to wait a while, please be patient. You may stay as long as you wish for your prayers of thanksgiving after Mass.

Members of the same household do not need to social distance. You can sit close in pew, do not need to space from family members when in line for Holy Communion, and can go to communion rail together.

Regarding Reception of Holy Communion

  • Those who cannot climb stairs can still receive in the first pews
  • Holy Communion will only be given at one rail
