Firstly, masks are optional, but if you have not been vaccinated, we request that you wear a mask out of Christian charity to others. Please sanitize your hands upon entering.
The church capacity has been opened to 100% which allows for seating in all the pews of the church and chapel. All persons will be seated in the church.The ushers will continue to help with finding space for everyone. If you are not feeling safe about sitting close to others, please ask an usher to help you find a distanced space.
Please read below for more specific information about the procedures. We are grateful for your cooperation as we gather fully as the Body of Christ. Please continue to check the bulletin and church website for more updates.

Beginning immediately, and for all Masses, daily and Sunday, the side chapel will be set aside for those who prefer to wear masks during Mass. You do not have to sit in the side chapel if you are wearing a mask, but this location will be set aside for those who do. We ask those who are not wearing a mask, to sit in the main church. Thank you.
