Virus Update 12/7/20

To keep everyone up to date and safe, this is the latest. Father Dan was exposed to a person with the virus. Father was tested and his test came back positive this Sunday. Also, another member of the parish was also tested this past week and came back positive although we don’t believe they were ever together.

To be safe we are closing the church this week – December 7th thru December 11th. There will be no Masses. We will have Mass on the weekend with a substitute Priest as Father is in quarantine until at least the 14th. Deacon John and members of the staff are being tested again or already have.

As you all know, as a precaution, that is why clergy never leave the altar and are never together more than several minutes. During Mass everyone on the altar is separated. At Communion that is why as we are sure you notice a large amount of sanitizer is used and the Blessed Sacrament is literally dropped in your hands to eliminate any contact. The Church again is being sanitized to ensure everyone’s safety.

Please remember – stay at least six feet apart if you are near someone for 10 minutes or more, wear your mask when in close contact to anyone for a length of time and where required. Additionally, watch for any symptoms you may get and if you believe you have them contact your physician.

Thank you for your patience as we all suffer through this difficult time we are enduring.

God Bless you and stay smart and safe…….
