To our Parishioners, friends, and all who will join us for worship and prayer:
We are thrilled to welcome you into our church for services! Please read the below carefully and be prepared to observe the following protocols and procedures as they are mandated by the Archdiocese and Baltimore City.
These procedures and restrictions are important to protect ourselves and each other during this time of coping with the coronavirus pandemic, which is still very much present. We are taking every precaution to make your participation in prayer and worship here a safe one. Let us cooperate to keep us all safe.
If you still don’t feel comfortable coming to Mass, please join us in prayer at home. We have the Virtual Parish connection on our website, where we live stream Mass on Saturday at 5 pm and Sunday at 11:30 am.
Let’s remain together in faith, hope, and love while worshiping in our beautiful church.
In Christ’s Peace, Fr. Au
Communicants are to come up the center aisle and go to one of two communion stations on either side of the aisle and return by the side aisles.
It is strongly requested that you receive Communion in the hand. If you still feel that you must receive Communion on the tongue, you must observe the proper manner of reception: hold your head back and extend your tongue in a manner that allows the minister to drop the host on your tongue without the likelihood of touching you. Otherwise, you will not be given Communion on the tongue and will have to take it in your hand.
Ministers will sanitize their hands before giving out Communion. If they touch the person receiving Communion, they will stop and re-sanitize their hands. Communion ministers will stop and sanitize their hands each time after having given communion on the tongue.
