Phase 3 Covid Guidelines for Attending Mass +Governor’s Directive. Phase of the Directive allows us to expand to 225 people in Church per mass. Once that capacity is reached, we can’t allow any more people at mass.
+Dispensation Continues. The Dispensation from attending Sunday Mass remains in effect. If you attend a Weekday Mass, that fulfills the Sunday Mass obligation too.
+Videotaping of Masses Continues. The videotaping of weekday/weekend masses continues.
+No More Signing Up for Mass; No Limit to Attending Mass. There is no more requirement to sign up for Mass. The first 225 people for Mass get a seat. The rest come back for another Mass. There is no limit of attending one Mass per week. You can go to Mass as often as you like.
+Entry through any Church Door; Seating at Mass. For weekday mass, choose a pew and stay 6 feet away from everybody else. For weekend Mass, ushers will direct you to a pew that fits your group.
+Social Distancing Requirements at Mass: Please stay 6 feet apart from others in Church and in the Communion line unless you are with a group; sanitize your hands immediately before Communion; receive Communion in the hand – open your hand flat and let the minister ‘drop’ the host into your hand; no physical contact at the sign of peace unless you are with a group; please don’t hang out in church before or after Mass; you MUST wear a facial covering at all masses effective July 1.
