Please pray for the faculty, staff, and students of our parish school as they return for a new school. This have been difficult times for all that have required a lot of adaptations from us, but the diocese has given good direction in reopening out school. May this be a fruitful school year for all.
I ask that each of you continue to be vigilant with Bishop Stika’s mandates. Please remember that you are to have your face mask on before you open any doors to your vehicle and are to keep it on until you return to your vehicle with all doors shut. While attending Mass do not greet others or gather with others outside of your household. Once Mass is over do not linger on our campus, but go straight to your car and immediately depart from our campus.
While in the church remember that you can only sit with those who live in your household. If a relative or friend lives in a different household they must sit in a different area. When coming up for communion remember to keep a distance of six feet, use the hand sanitizer station, and at the request of Bishop Stika receive communion in the hand.
As COVID-19 cases become more prevalent in our area I remind you that if you have been in close contact with anyone with COVID-19 you need a negative test result and a period of 14 days must pass before you can return to our campus. In you are feeling ill do not enter our campus. Remember that at this time there is not an obligation for us to assist at Mass on each Sunday and Holy Day or Obligation.
In Christ,
Fr. Dustin Collins
