Christmas Season

• All persons over the age of 7 attending Mass or celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation are asked to wear a face mask.

• Please wash your hands before leaving home and sanitize your hands upon entering the church. Bottles of sanitizer are available at the entrances to the church.

• The church remains at 50% of the maximum capacity, approximately 240 persons for Saturdays and Sundays in the main church and 15 persons for weekdays in the chapel.

• Please watch your distance; maintain 6 foot social distancing between persons (not of your own family or household) at all times. Every other pew in the church is closed off and persons not of the same household are reminded to sit six feet away from each other.

• You are asked to receive communion in the hand. Please, hold out your hands flat and still. The minister will place the Eucharist in your hands without touching you, Please do not lower your mask until after you step away from the communion minister. You may choose to say "Amen" silently. If you wish to receive communion on the tongue please present yourself for communion after all others have received in the hand.

Christmas is the season to celebrate the Lord's birth, his manifestation to the world, and His baptism. This season begins on Christmas Eve and ends on the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. The days from the Feast of the Nativity to the Epiphany are known as "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Christmas is not just one day - it is a season filled with many feast days and celebrations.
