Guidelines

1. If you feel ill, please join the service by video or podcast rather than in person.
2. Masks are optional

We will continue:

• Hand sanitizer and facial masks are available at each entrance.
• We will share the Peace verbally or with friendly gestures.
• The offering plate will be placed near the door so all can deposit their offering.
  • Doing so will temporarily eliminate the passing of the plate and the offertory procession.
• The elements (bread & wine) are on the credence table before the service instead of being brought forward.
• The celebrant will wash their hands before the service.
  • Also, they will use hand sanitizer before and after the consecration and distribution of the Eucharist.
• The priest distributes the Eucharist, dropping it into the hand of the attendant.
• Our Eucharist is distributed with consecrated (blessed) Hosts with wine in individual cups, or a “common cup” may be used.

Additionally, the elderly, pregnant women, immune-compromised, and individuals with severe heart, lung, liver, or kidney conditions are encouraged to watch online.
