maintain the 6 ft distance?
How about

Seats will be marked! Where will I sit?
All pew marks & chairs will be placed 6-8 feet apart
Families from the same households can
sit together
You can sit wherever you want as long as you sit in
the designated places.
There will be limited seating so we asked you to sign in ahead of time
The ”Fr. John M. Phillips Parish Life Center” will be
available during the Mass with live-stream if necessary
Distance will be marked at 6 ft!

Please ask questionsIf you have any concerns or
are a little confused.
How will I know how to maintain the 6 ft distance?
Thank you for your continued support!
There will be a box in the vestibule (entrance) into the

A basket…

or
Where do I take my offering?

We can only have one person at a time in each bathroom
One of our volunteers will be ready to sanitize the restroom immediately
Afterwards!
Will I be able to go to the restroom?
Parents can accompany children and
Caregivers can accompany those who need assistance
Song is Prayer!Singing is Worship!
Sing softly… or sing in your heart…but don’t stop singing!
How about
singing?
It may be a challenge to sing with a mask on…
but each person can only do the best they can!
To minimize contamination we have
removed all music books and cards from the pews
We will be trying different ways to make the music
available…
Your feedback is welcome!
Singing with your voice… or
with your heart…
GOD will be happy
The most challenging question!
Communion will be given with the consecrated Hostonly. The Precious Blood
will not be available
Because of the high risk of contamination,
we can only receive communion on the hand
Follow the 6 feet marks on the floor during the
communion line
How do I receive
communion?
1) Approach the minister with your mask on.
2) Receive the Host in your hands and respond “Amen”
3) Move to the side, pull your mask off and consume the Body of Christ while in place.
4) Pull your mask on again & return to your seat.
Some final thoughts!
Exit from Church will be only through: another
designated side door of the vestibule
When leaving the Church, please go straight to your car
and do not hang around on the patio
Entrance to Church will be only through one door:
Left-Side door of the vestibule
No physical contact during Mass: no holding hands or
touching at the Sign of Peace(a simple bow to each other
is sufficient)
Our friendly “COVID TEAM” will be ready to help you and answer your questions.
Don’t hesitate to ask!
