- Bottles of hand sanitizer will be available at entrances to the church and near Communion stations. You may use hand sanitizer at your discretion.
- All pews are now available for seating.
- We will continue to offer Holy Communion under the form of the Precious Body.
- To accommodate parishioners who are gluten-intolerant, we have developed a protocol for receiving the Precious Blood on an 'as needed' basis. Each communicant will receive the Precious Blood in an individual cup. Reception will take place at the credence table at the top of the ramp during the distribution of Holy Communion and will be offered by a Eucharistic Minister in the normal manner. If you need to receive the Precious Blood, please see the Mass Leader at least 10 minutes before Mass so that we have time to prepare the credence table and cup. The Precious Blood will only be available when requested and only to parishioners who require gluten-free Eucharist. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Sacrament of Reconciliation – Saturday from 4 pm to 4:30 pm. Confessions will be heard in the Confessional Room."While it is true that illness, infirmity or truly serious reasons may impede and therefore always dispense us of our obligation to come to Church for Mass, any casual absence from Mass without serious reason carries the burden of a willful sin against God and neighbor and must be brought to Confession as soon as possible." ~ Bishop Libasci
