In order to ensure the health and well-being of all, some precautions are advisable. If you are sick or showing symptoms of a cold/flu, please remain at home for your own well-being and for the well-being of others in our parish family. There is no obligation to attend Mass if you are ill. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are to use the available hand sanitizer before entering the sanctuary to assist in the distribution of Holy Communion.  As a general rule, close contact with others is best avoided. At the sign of peace, consider a kind word, a bow, nod or a wave instead of shaking hands. Hand shaking is not required. Avoiding close contact with others will go a long way in helping prevent the spread of the common cold/flu. Thank you for your cooperation!
