If you are unable to attend Mass in person, please continue watching it on our YouTube channel!  While the general dispensation has ended, please see the particular dispensations that are still in effect here: Particular Dispensations.

Those who are fully vaccinated may wear a face-covering and social distance but are no longer required to do so in church.  Those who have not been fully vaccinated are to continue wearing face-coverings and to practice social distancing to protect themselves and others in churches. Because a parish community – and our society – requires mutual trust and a commitment to the common good, each individual is asked to make the best decisions for himself as well as for others. Parishes do not have the responsibility to verify who is and who is not vaccinated.

Special Ministers of the Eucharist (SME) are also not permitted to wear gloves during Holy Communion.  The SME will take special precautions to not touch the hand or tongue of the faithful.  If the SME does, he/she must stop immediately to sanitize their hands before proceeding with the next communicant.  Please consider not receiving Holy Communion on the tongue as there could be a spreading of saliva to the fingers of the minister via breath.

Each parish is to provide a portion of the church – with a size to be determined by the pastor – where social distancing and face-coverings are consistently maintained.  

At St. Peter, the tape will be removed from all the church pews, except for the pews on the right-hand side - from the baptismal font up to the middle.  If you feel more comfortable being socially distanced among others who are still wearing their masks, you may sit here.   

Clergy and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion should continue to wear masks while distributing Holy Communion.
Distribution of the Precious Blood is suspended until further notice.
