updated Guidelines
St. Clare & St. Vincent de Paul Churches updated Guidelines
1) Under no circumstances may anyone who manifests symptoms of any illness attend the public celebration of Mass.
2) no Reservations required
3) The door on Saint clare way will now be open along with the courtyard door.
4) All people entering the church must sanitize their hands.
5) seating is now every other pew instead of every 4th pew.
6) YOU MUST REMAIN MASKED (UNLess there are breathing concerns) and at a six foot distance from others who are not of your group. Note that the priest will not wear a mask during Mass but may during Holy Communion.
7) There are no missalettes and hymnals in the pews.
8) Once the mass is ended, leave the way you came, masked and keeping a six foot distance.
Communion Time
1) You may come up with your group to receive Holy Communion at the priests instruction, bearing in mind that you keep at least six feet away from persons not of your group and wear your mask. You also need not receive Holy Communion.
2) You are highly encouraged to receive communion in the hand, keeping it flat without touching the priest’s hand. If you can only receive Holy Communion on the tongue, you must come after all others have received.
3) Bow your head when responding “Amen” when you receive Holy Communion.
4) Consume the host only when you step away from the priest.
