SEATING ARRANGEMENTS:

• All pews will be available for seating; the cordons will be removed.  Parishioners are encouraged to social distance as possible.

• Masks will be required in all sections except for the narrow section to the far left at both churches.  At St Charles, masks will also be required for the section adjacent to the altar, to protect the priests and others serving at Mass. 

• Temperature checks and hand sanitizing will continue as all enter Mass.

REOPENING:

• We will wait until after Easter to consider any further reopening. We anticipate a high probability of reopening widely at the time. 

• We recommend ministries that are meeting on Zoom themselves on the platform and prepare themselves for the June calendar meeting for planned meetings and events to be scheduled for the calendar year. 

• Sales of tickets by various groups and ministries will not be permitted in person until further reopening, to avoid having people gather in a small space to purchase. Suggestions for other ways to handle ticket sales included: online sales or auctions. 

• During March and April, the liturgies for Lent, Holy Week, and Easter have been finalized and will stay as-is as determined by the Liturgy Committee. 

• In May and June, the Sacramental programs and dates of receiving will remain as planned. 

• The June Calendar Meeting will take place in person so as to ensure that the final calendar can be published in September.
