Welcoming You Back to Mass During Pandemic Times

Weekend and Weekday Masses - Pre-Registration is longer necessary beginning the weekend of 10/11 October 2020

Capacity Limits:
You are no longer required to register to attend weekend or weekday masses. We must continue to follow Covid-19 capacity guidelines which is determined by the 6 ft social/physical distancing requirments, more so then our offical occupancy limits . While no longer requiring pre-registrations provides a sort of simplicity, it also opens up another situation of great concern. We agonize over the possibility of reaching maximum safe capacity and having to turn someone away. Turning the Body of Christ away from the celebration of Eucharist feels so terribly wrong. Yet, we must keep everyone as safe as possible, which means continuing to limit numbers of people in our spaces. We are committed to living as the welcoming community we all know and value! St. Adalbert Church capacity is much greater than St. Mary of the Mount Church capacity. We are also contempating adding masses as needed if we are able to get the hospitality and sanitizing help that is necessary. 

Safety Guidelines:

• If you are sick, please stay home
• The obligation to attend Weekend Mass has been suspended
• Masks are to be worn at all times inside the Church buildings.  Mask must be covering both your mouth and nose.
• Please be respectful of 6 ft physical distance and move down when necessary to allow others into the pew. Every other pew is open for seating
• Hymnals have been removed and we are incouraging the community to sing with your mind and hearts, instead of your voices 
• Collection baskets are located at the doors when you enter or exit, and no collection will be taken during the mass
• Sanitizing happens after ever Mass, celebration or event in the Church
