COMING HOME TO MASS

Beginning on Saturday, June 6th, masks and social distancing are no longer required of all parishioners. However, per CDC guidelines, nonvaccinated persons are still encouraged to wear masks and maintain social distancing. The tape has been removed from all but a portion of the church. The cleaning of most commonly touched surfaces may be reduced to once a week and limitations of the size of gatherings in non-liturgical spaces have also been lifted. The singing of hymns and acclamations has been restored, although choirs will not return until the end of the summer. Gatherings in Church With the lifting of occupancy restrictions, parishes may return to full occupancy of churches and chapels, provided that sufficient ventilation is maintained. Most tape and signage promoting social distancing may be removed from pews and other seating. At the same time, because the CDC advises that unvaccinated persons should still maintain a six foot social distance and wear a mask, pastors are encouraged to reserve a portion of the Church for those wishing to maintain a social distance. Churches should continue to provide hand sanitizer at all entrances. Holy Water, Hymnals and Missalettes will, once again, be available. Processions will also be restored. The distribution of Holy Communion will return to its pre-COVID form. The distribution of the Precious Blood will be restored in the fall. We will also begin using the confessionals and rooms of reconciliation and visitation of the sick will return to its previous schedule. All of this will take some time to get used to. Please be assured we will continue to carefully monitor the number of cases as we proceed to return to a “new normal.” Please join in praying that the success we have so far enjoyed in quelling the pandemic may continue throughout the summer and the months to come.
