May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. It is with great joy that I announce to you that starting the weekend of May 16/17 our churches will be open for Masses. At St. Munchin Masses will be held on Saturday at 5 PM, on Sunday at 9 AM, which will also be live stream on Facebook, and at 6 PM. At St. Aloysius Mass will be at 11 AM.
Each Mass will have restrictions/limitations:
- At. St. Munchin each Mass will be limited to approximately 50 people---we have 14 pews designated for use
- Each participant MUST wear a mask—coming in, going out
- Participants will sit in the DESIGNATED PEWS ONLY
- The reception of Communion will be explained at Mass
- The priest (Fr. Tom) will be the only one to distribute communion
- Music will come from song sheets (no use of hymnals)
- The church must be cleaned after EACH Mass, thus 4 volunteers will be needed
- Once the church is filled, the doors will be closed to any others that might want to join us, and we need your understanding.
- I am grateful for your assistance and appreciate your willingness to cooperate with these procedures.
