While our State remains in Phase Two of reopening, all of us need to do our part to make sure that our return to Mass is a peaceful and safe experience for all. We ask everyone to follow the protocol when attending Mass during this period.

PARISH PROTOCOL:

• The dispensation from the requirement to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation remains in effect.
• Stay home if you feel sick or have been exposed to the virus.
• Follow local health department guidance on isolation and quarantine.
• Face masks or other suitable face coverings are now required. 

• By persons for whom wearing a face covering or mask is prevented for health reasons
• By children under the age of 5
• By Lectors, cantors and the priest saying the Mass
• Briefly, when an individual is receiving Holy Communion

• Continue to practice good hygiene, frequent hand washing, avoid touching the face or mask.
