• Wearing a face mask (or covering) is required throughout the Mass, except the brief moment to receive Communion. Please bring a clean mask or covering to wear. 
• To maintain social distancing, only 130 people can be seated safely in the church.  Households can sit together, but must distance 6’ from another household. 
• At Communion, please lower your mask below your chin BEFORE extending your hands to receive the Host. If you must receive on the tongue, approach a lay minister of Communion at the line's end, so sanitizing precautions can be taken.  The cup will not be distributed.
