Covid response/ Ways You Can Help

• • All parishioners must wear a mask during all indoor Masses.
• We no longer have a seating capacity but for folks that wish to remain physically distanced, the pews and chairs located on the east section of the sanctuary, the Marian wall area, will remain reserved for this purpose.
• Communion may be received on the hand or on the tongue.
  • The Marian side of the church to the east continues to be our social distanced section.  The Eucharistic Minister on this side of the church will now only offer communion in the hand and not on the tongue.
  • Those who wish to receive communion on the tongue are invited to sit elsewhere in the church and in the pews toward the back so that you are entering the communion line after those who will receive in the hand.  
• Out of care for others, we ask everyone to screen themselves for symptoms prior to coming to Mass and to stay home if you are feeling ill.
• Wash hands with soap and water or use a hand sanitizer.
• Avoid shaking hands during the sign of peace.
• Kindly exit the sanctuary after Mass.

• Mandato de cubre bocas: Este mandato de cubre bocas universal toma efecto el lunes 23 de agosto. Esto significa:
  • Todos los feligreses deben usar un cubre boca durante todas las misas.
• Ya no tenemos limite de capacida, pero las personas que deseen permanecer físicamente distanciadas, las bancas y sillas ubicadas en la sección del lado mariano, permanecerán reservadas para este propósito.
• La comunión se puede recibir en la mano o en la lengua.
  • El lado mariano de la iglesia hacia el este sigue siendo nuestra sección de distanciada social y cubre bocas. El Ministro Eucarístico de este lado de la iglesia ahora solo ofrecerá la comunión en la mano y no en la lengua.
  • Aquellos que deseen recibir la comunión en la lengua están invitados a sentarse en otro lugar de la iglesia y en los bancos hacia atrás para que entren en la fila de comunión después de los que recibirán en la mano.
• Por cuidado de los demás, les pedimos a todos que se examinen para detectar síntomas antes de asistir a misa y que se queden en casa si se sienten enfermos.
• Lávese las manos con agua y jabón o use un desinfectante para manos.
• Evite dar la mano durante la señal de la paz.
• Por favor salga del santuario después de la misa.

Gracias por su cuidado, paciencia y comprensión. Sean bendecidos.
