Mass Schedule, Capacity, and Masks

We are following our regular Mass and Confession schedule in Church. Phase 3 permits 100% occupancy. The governor's directives state the following: "Religious services will no longer have capacity limits, social distancing is strongly encouraged and masking will still be required.”  Wearing a mask is REQUIRED at all Masses.

Dispensation from the Archbishop

The people of the Archdiocese are still dispensed from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass.  If you are participating in social gatherings and going out to eat, we encourage you to also come to Church in person.  If someone is vulnerable and not feeling well, however, they should not celebrate Mass in church with other people.

General Guidelines for SCS Mass Attendance:

• Wearing a mask is mandatory at all Masses.
• Social distancing is encouraged when possible. 
• The collection baskets will not be passed throughout the Church.  Two baskets will be placed at the foot of the sanctuary for anyone who wants to make an offering before Mass or during the offertory of Mass.

Guidelines for Receiving Holy Communion:

• Please bring hand sanitizer to use before receiving Communion.
• Communion will be distributed by means of the sacred Host only. There will be no distribution from the chalice.
• When approaching the priest/minister for Communion, place your hand flat atop your other hand.  The minister will place the Host on your hand and then let go of the Host to avoid any contact with your hand.

We look forward to worshiping our Lord with you!
