On September 12th, we will have our first weekend liturgy at 4 pm in both the St. Vitus and St. Camillus worship sites. There has been a lot of preparation for this and we ask for your help and patience.
Attendance
We have no idea how many people will want to enter back into the churches, so we will continue to have our Masses at the Sears parking lot on Sundays at 9:00 am and 11:00 am.
There is limited seating in the churches. We are able to accommodate 25% of the church capacity with, if necessary, overflow into the gyms. That means we may have 170 in St. Vitus with an additional 50 in the gym and 120 in St. Camillus with 90 in the gym. If we meet capacity, we may have to ask parishioners to attend Mass at the parking lot on Sunday morning. This is not an easy decision and it pains us to have to do this, but due to regulations and social distancing, we have limited space.
You will need to wear a mask and sign-in. We will have the collection baskets at the entrance ways, as we do at the parking lot.
Seating in the Church
The pews will have 6 ft. markings. Please move in to the center marking so that we can get as many people in the pew as permitted. Family members do not have to separate by 6 ft.; it is a 6 ft. separation between family/individual groupings. When the church is full, overflow into the gym will then open. Please do not go to the gym until the ushers open that space.
Communion
At communion time, there will be ushers in the churches to invite people forward to receive the Blessed Sacrament while maintaining 6 ft. distancing. In the gyms, the Eucharistic Minister will come to each person.
Dismissal
After Mass, each pew will be dismissed as they are at a wedding.
We ask again that you please comply with these practices so that we can assure all that we are practicing appropriate safety measures. If you cannot abide by these regulations, we recommend that you continue to go to the parking lot Masses.
God love you,
