SUNDAY MASS

We have resumed our regular Sunday Mass schedule.

Cardinal Dolan asked that we emphasize to all parishioners that

the dispensation for attending Sunday Mass is still in place.

Anyone in a high-risk group for contracting Covid-19, or who feels uncomfortable in a group setting because of the pandemic, should not come to Church right now.

While changes have been put into place to keep parishioners as safe

as possible, we know that for some, staying home is the best choice.

Your health and safety is our first priority.

ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNON

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in

the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You

into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there

and unite myself wholly to You.

Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.

Envelopes for next week’s Black & Indian Missions collection can be placed in the white collection box in the rear of the Church.

SPONSOR CERTIFICATES Godparents and Sponsors for Confirmation need to obtain a Sponsor Certificate from the church where they attend Mass. There are several requirements that must be met to receive a sponsor certificate:

AGE 16 OR OLDER CONFIRMED MARRIED IN THE CHURCH (if married)

CONSISTENTLY ATTENDING MASS (Sundays/Holydays)

Registered parishioners who meet these requirements can obtain a certificate by calling the Rectory office.

Returning to Sunday Mass...

We are very happy to announce that we have resumed our regular Sunday Mass schedule.

We are extremely grateful to the volunteers on the Parish Safety Team that made it possible.

We have tried to cover everything that is new on the page below to give you an idea of

what to expect when you come to Church.

These changes are simpler in practice than they may seem in writing.

Please familiarize yourself with these changes so that we can all help each other through this unusual transition.

Under the new guidelines... We have permission to celebrate Mass with a maximum of 25% of the Church’s seating capacity. For us, that means 50 people. The Church will open half an hour before Mass and everyone will come in through one door where one of our volunteers will be doing a headcount. Please maintain 6 feet of distance from others when entering the Church. There are stands in the vestibule with hand sanitizer - everyone is asked to please use one when they arrive. A mask or face covering must be worn (covering the nose and mouth). The only time your mask may be briefly lowered is when you receive Communion (specifics are below). Please consider if you are able to wear a mask for the length of time required before coming to Mass. Once inside you will see that there is tape across the entrance to every other pew - those pews are to remain empty. We can have 2 people* in the open pews - there are tape marks at both ends to indicate where you should sit. Volunteers will assist you in finding a seat.

* Family members who live together may sit together. They will be seated in their own pew.. All shared worship materials (i.e. missalettes) have been removed from the church. We encourage you to read through the scheduled readings for Mass before arriving. Our Sunday bulletin lists the readings for the upcoming week or you can find readings online (by date) at http://usccb.org/ There will not be an Entrance or Offertory Procession. We will not be passing the collection basket. Please drop your envelopes in one of the white boxes on the small tables behind the rear pews. Handshakes are not permitted. Please acknowledge others with a wave or nod. Parishioners should not sing the hymns. When lining up to receive Communion the social distancing rule is still in place. Your mask should be in place when receiving Communion. When you receive the host (distributed in the hand only) you will step 6’ away from Father*, lower your mask to place the host in your mouth, then put it back in place before returning to your seat via the side aisle. * stepping over to the statue of the Blessed Mother (left) or Christ the King (right) is suggested. After Mass, parishioners can exit through any door, maintaining the required social distance. Please do not gather outside in front of the Church.
