Guidelines for Safely

Returning to Mass

If you are feeling ill, stay safe at home . We highly encourage those who are vulnerable (such as the elderly and people with underlying medical conditions) to continue to participate in Mass via parish livestreaming or CTV: Catholic Television. Mass from the Cathedral of Saint Peter will continue to be broadcast daily on CTV: Catholic Television of the Diocese of Scranton. It is also available on the Diocese of Scranton website, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. People should wash their hands thoroughly before coming to church .

Face masks must be worn by all lay faithful who attend Mass. The only time a face mask may be removed is for the reception of Holy Communion. Clergy are not to wear a face mask during the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy but must wear a face mask for the distribution of Holy Communion which takes place after Mass.

Mass attendance will be limited to no more than 25-percent of a church's seating capacity. While within the church, all people need to maintain a safe social distance of six feet from others in all directions. The only exception is for immediate family members who may sit together. Several pews may separate individuals/families to ensure the six foot distancing while within the church. Parishioners will need to enter through only one designated door, follo½ social distancing guidelines during the line for communion, and exit the church through a separate door.

The distribution of Holy Communion will take place after the conclusion of Mass. After receiving communion, the faithful are to depart and not return to their pews. Distribution of the Precious Blood remains suspended at this time . Parishioners are strongly advised to receive the Body of Christ in the hand. Priests and deacons (or any other minister) will wear a mask for the distribution of Holy Communion and are to use hand sanitizer before, immediately after, and if necessary, during the distribution of communion if contact is made with any person's hand or tongue.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sunday obligation to attend Mass remains suspended at this time

PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF MASS TO BEGIN: The public celebration of Weekday and Sunday Mass will begin on this past

Wednesday, June 10th• and on this the weekend of June 13th and 14th

• As I have mentioned many times before, the

attendance at Mass will be greatly different from when we last attended in March. During this past week, and in last

weekend's Parish Bulletin, you received a letter from me and the protocols that will be necessary for the attendance at

Mass. I ask that you please read them carefully so that you FULLY UNDERSTAND all that will be required. Masks must

always be worn, no mask, no Mass. PLEASE REMEMBER IT IS NECESSARY TO REGISTER FOR BOTH WEEKDAY AND

SUNDAY (According the alphabetic beginning of your last name) Mass.

/11,ePlia/ cl!i/1! ETERNAL REST GRANT UNTO HIM, 0 LORD: this past week, our Diocese lost another priest

who was a native son of the Hazleton Area and Ordained a priest for the Diocese of Scranton on August 30, 1980 by the

late Bishop Joseph Carroll McCormick, D.D. On Tuesday June 8th, REVEREND PETER D. MENGHINI, originally form Our

Lady of Mount Carmel Church, entered eternal life with the Lord. Please pray for Father Menghini, as well as for his

family, that God may grant him eternal rest, the reward of his faithful priestly efforts in this life. Pray also that God may

call other young men and women, especially from the Hazleton Area, to continue His work as priests and religious,

especially in our Diocese.

PARIS .Ii JPPORTA SPECIAL "THANK YOU" FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND SUPPORT: Several weeks ago, I sent you a letter to ask for your help

in keeping current with your weekly contributions to our Parish. I am extremely grateful for your response. May I please

ask that you PLEASE continue your generosity, on a weekly basis, to help our Parish in this time of need. May I also

encourage those who have yet to do so, to please consider either mailing your contribution to the Parish Office or placing

it in the mail slot in the Office door on a weekly basis. Your extra effort and generosity will greatly help us through this

time of crisis and uncertainty.

For those now attending Mass in Church, since a collection cannot be taken, you are asked to deposit your Offertory

Envelope into the Collection Boxes located at the entrances of the Church, or to continue to follow the procedure listed

above. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND GENEROSITY.
