In the Midst of the Ongoing
COVID-19 Public Health Crisis

1…Regardless of vaccination status, we ask that you please wear a mask while inside the church building.

2…Please remember to sanitize your hands upon entering the church.

3…While using the Breaking Bread Missalettes/Hymnals, please be mindful that others have used them before you and will be using them after you.

4...Those who will be receiving Holy Communion in the palm of their hand are encouraged to use hand sanitizer prior to approaching the altar.

5…When receiving Holy Communion in the palm of your hand, please place your non-dominant hand on top of your dominant hand and be sure that you make as flat a surface as possible. Thereafter, to minimize the possibility of contact between the communicant and minister, please allow the minister to not only place the Sacred Host in the palm of your hand but to also retract his or her fingers before you begin to move your own hands or fingers.

6…As related to the reception of Holy Communion on the tongue, all should be aware that even if there is no contact made between the communicant and the minister, hand sanitizier will be used by the minister before he or she offers the Sacred Host to the next person..

7…Those who are sick with a transmissible illness must refrain from coming to Mass.

8…Please be sure not to leave any used kleenex or tissues on the pews or on the floor.

9…Those who do not feel comfortable receiving Holy Communion from a minister who happens to not be wearing a mask have no obligation to do so. Please feel free to wait to receive from a minister with whom you are comfortable.


Thanks in advance for your
attention and cooperation.
