Take your temperature before you leave home. If you or anyone in your household has a temperature of 100 or more, the entire household should remain home and join us via the 24/7 livestream.

Check for any flu-like, cold-like symptoms. If you have any symptoms (even if you think it may be indoor allergies), please stay home.

Wear a mask covering your nose and mouth at all times (there are no exceptions).

Keep six feet from anyone who does not live in your household.

Follow the instructions of the clergy, staff, and volunteers.

All pews, surfaces, doors, bathrooms, etc., are disinfected using an electrostatic spray after each Mass.

The air is sanitized after each Mass using a natural food-grade disinfecting solution via an air fogger.

The parish has installed an air ionization system which has been shown to neutralize viruses and pathogens in the air.

The church windows are kept open throughout the day and the Masses and the HVAC system has been adjusted to maximize the amount of fresh air brought into the church.

The priests and brothers wear masks at all times in and around the church and buildings except while celebrating or assisting at Mass (when they are 20 or more feet from the congregation) and monitor their temperature and health daily.

At the time of Communion, the priests disinfect their hands and wear a mask.

If the priest believes he touched someone's hand (even slightly), he stops distributing Holy Communion and disinfects his hands before continuing. Communion on the tongue is given at the end of the distribution of Holy Communion and the priest also wears a face shield and disinfects his hands in between each communicant on the tongue.

All staff and volunteers also wear masks at all times in and around the church and buildings and monitor their temperature and health daily.

Everything is done in an organized and clear manner in order to limit the need to pass one another and to avoid mistakes that could lead to the unintentional spread of the virus.

Everyone's temperature is taken at the door upon their arrival.

The church opens approximately 30 minutes before each Mass (to allow for time to disinfect) and are locked at the moment the Mass begins.

Anyone arriving after the start time of the Mass (or anyone who prefers to do so) will be seated outside in the garden where there is an outdoor TV set up (please bring a chair) or in the gym where there is a TV and groups of chairs set up 12 feet apart. (These two options are available at all weekend Masses and are available throughout the winter). Holy Communion is brought to those outside or in the gym after the priests finish distributing Communion in the church.

On Sundays, we have a drive-thru Communion Service at 11am on Herbert Street for those joining us for Mass via the live stream so that everyone can receive our Lord. Everything is done very safely for your protection. (Please wear a mask and let the ushers know if it's your first time and they will instruct you)

Weekly and Second Collection Baskets are at the entrance of the church, outside in the garden, in the gymnasium, and at the end of the drive-thru Communion Service line for your convenience. Online-giving is also available. No collection is taken up during the Mass.
