New Practices To Be Implemented For Daily Masses

After consulting with the Diocesan Vicar of the Northern Vicariate regarding COVID 19 precautions, two new practices will be implemented for daily Masses at all four parishes in the MACH 1 Grouping:

1) Until their is a reduction in COVID-19 cases in our county, the use of lectors at daily Mass will be suspended in order to minimize the number of people in the sanctuary. The priest will lector for the first reading, responsorial psalm, and gospel.

2) To follow the practice that is being used in the Diocese for the reception of Holy Communion, the faithful will come forward to the center aisle to receive from the priest. Please be sure to leave 6 feet of distance between you and the person in front of you, and please remove your mask when it is your turn to receive.

As we pray for the end of this pandemic, we thank you for your patience and understanding in the midst of all these adjustments.

Thank You,
Fr. Jean-Luc, OSB
