You are no longer required to make reservations for Mass. However, we ask that you sign in. This will aide in contacting people.
Sunday Mass attendance is not obligatory until the Bishop determines it is safe to resume Mass attendance without restrictions or excessive risk.
At this time, and in conjunction with the CDC and Diocesan guidelines, Mass attendance will be limited to 50% of full capacity. You must wear a mask and follow all church directives.
Please stay home if you do not feel well or are in a high-risk category as determined by the government (See the list below in the "We Need Your Help" section). The daily Mass and some Sunday Masses will continue to be live streamed.
Always wear your mask. The only exception will be mentioned below during reception of the Body of Christ.
There will be one door designated to enter at Holy Rosary and Miraculous Medal. You may enter in the front or rear at St Patrick's.
Sign-in with the minister of hospitality at the door.
Sanitize your hands immediately upon entering. Sanitizer will be provided.
Walk to an empty pew, or one at which only one other person is sitting. Sit at the far end from where they are sitting. Keep your social distancing regimen throughout.
Sit at least 6 feet from any other person - unless they are immediate family members. Social distancing saves lives!
Wait until the usher guides you to the center aisle. Maintain social distancing at all times. There will be footprints on the floor of the aisle to help you recognize the proper and safe distance.
Once you reach the priest, you will put out your hands, palm flat and facing up to receive the host. Do not reach for the host or grab it from Father. If you touch him, he will need to sanitize his hands before proceeding with Communion. Once the Body of Christ is on your palm, you will step to the footprints to the right or left, lower your mask, receive the host, replace your mask then walk to your pew.
After dismissal, you will leave the church keeping social distancing regimen in place.
Sanitize your hands once more and use the handicap door opener to open the door so you don’t touch the door.
We are looking for parishioners who could assist us in seating people at the Mass. We are looking for parishioners who are not in the "at risk" category:
People who are "at risk" and should not come to church or assist at Mass (based on CDC Guidelines):
The Miraculous Medal Novena will be streamed on Monday after the 10:00 AM Mass.
The Sacred Heart Novena will be streamed on the First Friday of the Month following the 10:00 AM Mass.
