Prayer in Time of Pandemic

O God, whose Only Begotten Son bore the weight of human suffering for our salvation,
hear the prayers of your Church for our sick brothers and sisters and deliver us from this time of trial.

Open our ears and our hearts to the voice of your Son: Be not afraid, for I am with you always.

Bless all doctors and nurses, researchers and public servants;
give us the wisdom to do what is right and the faith to endure this hour,
that we might gather once again to praise your name in the heart of your Church,
delivered from all distress and confident in your mercy.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR PUBLIC MASS CELEBRATIONS

 
We would like to highlight a few requirements which must be followed to keep us all safe as we celebrate Mass and the Sacraments together.
 
1)   There is a limit to the number of people we can safely seat (approx. 60).  If need be,
      we will seat additional people downstairs in the church hall for a livestream viewing of
      the Mass. 
 
2)   Wear a face mask or covering at all times except during the reception of
      Holy Communion. 
 
3)   Maintain social distance of 6 feet or more at all times.  This also applies to standing in        line for communion or even when entering or leaving the church.  Immediate families          may, of course, sit closer in the pews.
 
4)   Parishioners will proceed to communion one row at a time to allow for social                      distancing.  We also strongly recommend that you receive communion
      in your hand rather than on the tongue.
 
5)   Every other pew is blocked off so as to allow ample distance between people.                    Please sit in open pews.
 
6)   Do not ask people to “slide down a pew” since you would be touching shared                      surfaces which have not been properly cleaned. 
 
7)   There will be no donation collection during Mass.  There is an offertory box for                    donations in the main aisle of the church   Donations can also be sent in by                        mail, dropped off at the rectory, or given through Online Giving from our parish                    website. 
 
8)   There are no missalettes or bulletins in the church.  Our weekly bulletin is available             at the exit doors following Mass or on our parish website.  Bulletins are also available         during the week at the entrance door of the parish office.  If you do not attend Mass           in person or have internet at home, you may call the parish office and we can mail             the bulletin out to you. 
 
9)   All exit doors will be open as you leave the church.  Please exit by the door closest to        where you are seated in church.
 
We also want to remind older adults and those with underlying health conditions that they are not obligated to attend Mass and should continue to stay home and watch our livestream Mass on Sundays at 9:30 a.m.  Bishop McManus has lifted the obligation for you to attend Mass on Sundays & Holy Days until May 23, 2021 (Pentecost Sunday).
