Re-Opening Our Churches: Creating a Safe Place to Worship

There is no obligation to attend Mass. The Sunday Obligation has been lifted and you may attend Mass

any day of the week if you so wish or continue to view Mass on the Parish Webcam or listen to on the

Parish Radio Link.

Public Masses will resume this Monday 29th June. The following guidelines were discussed at

the combined Pastoral & Parish Councils Meeting on Wednesday evening last.

Families with a Mass intention will be given first preference to attending Mass. Families are asked to be

in the Church fifteen minutes prior to Mass starting. Members of a family who reside together do not

need to observe social distancing, but must of course remain socially distant from other members of the

congregation.

Parishioners attending Mass should wear a face covering in Church. (Please note face coverings are

not suitable for children under the age of 13. While wearing a face covering is recommended it is not

mandatory).

Upon entering the Church at the designated entrance please follow directions of the usher who will

show you where to sit. Please Exit the Church as directed.

Readers & Eucharistic Ministers are welcome to return to public ministry, however, there is no pressure

if you do not wish to return to ministry. Readers will read from the missalette provided. Eucharistic Min-

isters must wear a face covering. If you do not have one, a face mask will be provided.

Altar Servers will not exercise their ministry until further notice. Choirs will not resume their ministry

until further notice. A Cantor and Organist may provide music and song if they so wish.

People attending Mass will not be asked to knell.

Distribution of Holy Communion: You are asked to follow the direction of the usher. There will be a table

between the Minister of Communion and the Communicant.

All of the above was discussed and approved at last Wednesday evening's meeting. We ask that

people please follow the guidelines to ensure the safety of all and to take personal responsibil-

ity during this time of reopening our Churches for Public Worship.
