Covid-19 Guidelines

The following are current guidelines and recommendations from the diocese:

-Because not all members of our communities are vaccinated (for COVID‐19), and some people may have conditions that require them to use a mask (such as underlying medical conditions), it is strongly encouraged that all parishioners wear a mask during Mass.

- Holding hands during the Our Father-which was never called for by the Roman Missal-will no longer be permitted.

- Shaking hands at the sign of peace will be omitted or replaced at the priest celebrant’s discretion.

- Holy Communion will only be distributed in the form of the host.

-It is recommended that Communion be received on the hand only.

-Those wishing to receive the Eucharist on the tongue should wait until the end of the Communion line and then proceed up the main aisle of the church to receive from the priest. The priest will sanitize his fingers between each communicant to avoid contamination.

Recomendaciones y pautas de la diócesis:

-Debido a que no todos los miembros de nuestras comunidades están vacunados contra COVID-19, y algunas personas pueden tener condiciones médicas subyacentes, se recomienda encarecidamente que todos los feligreses usen una máscara durante la misa.

- Ya no se permitirá tomarse de la mano durante el Padre Nuestro, esta acción nunca fue requerido por el Misal Romano.

- Dar la mano al signo de la paz será omitido o reemplazado a discreción del sacerdote celebrante.

- La Sagrada Comunión solo se distribuirá en forma de hostia.

-Se recomienda que la Comunión se reciba solo en la mano.

-Aquellos que deseen recibir la Eucaristía en la lengua deben esperar hasta el final de la línea de Comunión y luego avanzar por el pasillo principal de la iglesia para recibir del sacerdote. El sacerdote lavará sus dedos entre cada comulgante para evitar la contaminación.

We have access to our parking garage! If you are coming to the church, you can park for free in the garage (see map to the right for how to access it). You simply need to put a bulletin on your dashboard so the security guard knows not to tow your car. Please note the garage is only available for use if you are coming to the church for a meeting, event, or liturgy,
