COVID-19 Update
November 24, 2020
Beginning November 30th and continuing through at least December 13th, the capacity for houses of worship
will be reduced to 25% of fire code capacity from the previously allowed 50%.
Parishioners and friends should know that this does not directly impact us or change anything here at St. Robert Bellarmine.
Since our reopening back at the end of May, due to social distancing requirements, we have not even been able to accomodate 25% of capacity.
Having said that, things will continue just as they have been since our reopening.
Please continue to call ahead for seating for Saturday and Sunday Masses.
================================
October 30, 2020
At the request of the Office of the Bishop of the Diocese of Providence, the following correspondence is being published for your review and consideration:
Dear Parishioners,
On behalf of our parish, I would like to thank you for the generosity and flexibility you have demonstrated as we continue to provide safe ways in which we can worship the Lord here at our church.
Please know that the guidelines enacted to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 have worked. The spread of COVID-19 has not been traced to any Catholic church in the State of Rhode Island. This reflects your willingness to follow safe protocols in order to protect fellow parishioners and our community at large. I am grateful.
(1) Please come to Mass wearing a mask and continue to sanitize your hands.
(2) If you are sick—even with the mildest of symptoms—you must stay home. We continue to live-stream the Masses for this purpose.
(3) This is important: please do not congregate in the church or outside, and always maintain distance of at least six feet between others when you are entering or exiting the church. In some churches, parishioners sometimes exit at the same time and congregate in large groups outside. This is understandable. After all, we all need community. But this unfortunately defeats the purpose of keeping our distance to ensure everyone is safe.
Thank you for understanding the importance of these guidelines during this critical time. I am confident that with prayer, and the Lord’s unfailing help, we will get through this together. After all, God is in charge.
