COVID PROTOCOLS STILL IN PLACE FOR MASSES  .... Even though the CDC has started to make changes regarding the wearing of masks and gatherings, we will continue to follow the protocols which we have had in place.  With this in mind, hand sanitizing and masks are still required by all attending Masses.  At Communion, parishioners will:

•    Be directed to exit their pews from side to side. Those in the side pews need not wait until the large pews have gone to Communion. They should go to the empty large pew that is nearest to them to get to the main aisle.
•    Form a single line in the middle of the aisle and follow the blue tape all the way to the front of the aisle. Once arriving at the front, please go to the priest or Eucharistic Minister who is on the side where you were sitting, even if the opposite side is free, so that you can easily return to your pew. 
•    Maintain 6 feet social distancing at all times.

Thank you for your continued understanding and cooperation.
