INDOOR MASSES
DURING THE PANDEMIC
There are several important restrictions so that we can celebrate safely:
1) **UPDATE** A MAXIMUM of 230 people will be permitted at each Mass, on a first come, first served basis. Ushers will have to refuse further entry once we have reached our maximum!
2) Masks MUST be worn
(except for very young children
at parents' discretion.)
3) Social Distancing is REQUIRED
except for families sitting together.
4) Offertory Collection - we will place baskets at the end of the aisles to receive your parish contribution
*** thank you! ***
the ushers will not take up the collection
at this time for the safety of all.
5) Sign of Peace will take place
without physical contact.
6) The Chapel will be available for seating of ONE special needs family per Mass (for safety reasons.) Please call the Parish Office to reserve the Chapel if you have a special needs situation.
Note: Fr. Charlie will continue producing the recorded Masses for a while longer to accommodate those who are unable to enter and those who are at greater risk during the pandemic.
The Catholic Community of St. Cecilia ministers with the Gospel principle that “All are welcome”, a principle exhibited at all times by Jesus throughout his public ministry.
Our community is comprised of people from many different ethnic and language backgrounds from all over the world. Yet, even in our diversity, we are all daughters and sons of the same God, and therefore one family, one faith, one Church, walking the journey to the Kingdom of God together. We invite you to join us on this exciting adventure!
Come celebrate with us. Laugh with us. (Cry with us, at times.) Pray with us and live the Gospel of life with us. Know that no matter what may be going on in your life, you will always be welcome here. –Father Charlie
