Father is envisioning that through the weekend of October 24/25 we will try to have Mass outside if the temperature is above 40, there is no rain, and the wind is not too strong.

The 6 PM Mass on Sundays will always be inside.

As we move toward more Masses indoors, it is a good time to review the current Covid prevention protocols. 30% of Church capacity is around 230 people.

• Face coverings are to be worn at all Masses. If one cannot medically tolerate a facemask, contact me and we can look at arrangements for Mass.
• Social Distancing is to be maintained between housholds. 
• Every other pew is roped off in the Church.
• In the Communion line, distancing should be maintained. 
• It is encouraged to remove one's mask in the Communion line shortly before receiving Holy Communion, as not to fumble with the mask while also handling Communion. 
• If one prefers Holy Communion on the tongue, please present yourself to Fr. Eric or Fr. Peter near the end of the Communion line. 
• As people arrive for Mass, they will be directed through the main Church (East) doors so that ushers can keep count.
• If we exceed capacity we will try to have parishoners who come after capacity is reached to have the option to watch a live-stream of the Mass and receive Holy Communion in the gym at the 10 AM and 6 PM Masses.

Confession

Masks should be worn in the Confession line. If masks cannot be worn in the Confession line, please sit or kneel about 10 feet into the pew (toward the south) rather than being at the edge off the pew to ensure greater distance between oneself and the person in the pew ahead. Every other pew remains roped off during non Mass times.

Adoration
Though not discouraged, face coverings are not required if one is simply coming to the Church for Eucharistic Adoration time or for a visit to the Blessed Sacrament. Every other pew remains roped off during non Mass times. As attendance to this is limited compared to Mass, attendees can easily maintain social distance.
