In solidarity with the entire Body of Christ, we are aware of our obligation to respect our liturgical traditions, but also our obligation to respect the dignity of every human life During this pandemic, we will continue to champion the Common Good and to conduct our public gatherings in a manner which protects the health of our assemblies and others whom they will encounter.

As we look forward to gathering as one body once more, our first consideration must be for the health and safety of our parishioners and those whom they will encounter. This is especially true for the most vulnerable members of our populations, including the elderly and those with chronic illnesses.

We know the desire to return to our parish, participate in the liturgy, and receive the Eucharist is incredibly strong, but we ask that everyone approach this time with a patient, loving and charitable mindset. While these protocols and guidelines are subject to change as we learn and adapt, here are things everyone should be prepared for:

Protocols and Guidelines

1. The general dispensation from the Sunday obligation from our Bishop Luis Rafael will remain.
2. Attendance will be limited.
3. Social distancing, mask wearing, and personal sanitizer are REQUIRED.
4. Temporary liturgical changes will be in place.
5. There is a health risk for anyone who attends a public liturgy or devotion during this time.
