Public Masses will resume Pentecost weekend (May 30/31). When you return parish life will be different then what we are used to, but eventually everything will become routine. Hopefully, soon we can return to our normal way of life.
As we return to public Mass is important that you be patient with our ushers and do as you are asked. They will tell you where you are to sit and when you are to leave following Mass. They will help enforce the rule that you must wear a mask when you are in the church for Mass. If you are not wearing a mask you will be asked to leave. They will help to guide the communion lines which will be different then our norm. Prior to receiving Communion one will take off their mask, clean their hands at a hand sanitizer station, receiving Communion, and put their mask back on. There will be a lot for us to get used to, but eventually we will adapt and do so.
On May 21 will fall the traditional date of the Ascension. On this day I will offer a 6pm Mass in the Extraordinary Form in order that the Ascension may be observed on Thursday. This Mass will be streamed to our parish YouTube page.
In Christ,
Fr. Dustin Collins
