Parish COVID-19 Protocols

As you know, we have been gradually removing ribbons and slowly returning to some of our normal practices at Mass.  Bishop Peter has now asked that we do so more fully.  This is in conjunction with more people having been vaccinated, our state moving into Stage 4 of Idaho Rebounds, and CDH and CDC updates.     

Therefore, we have now removed all ribbons between the pews.  It will be up to individuals to determine their seating and distancing while trying to be respectful of the concerns of those around them.  

The decision about wearing masks will likewise be up to individuals…again being respectful of distancing and the concerns of others.   

For those people who are still needing to exercise more caution, we will continue to have the optional seating in Faith Hall.

Bishop Peter also plans to remove the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass.  This will begin on the Feast of Corpus Christi (June 6^th).  As always, please stay home if you are feeling sick.  In addition, if you have serious health concerns you can make a personal judgment around attending Mass. 

We will be gradually restarting our liturgical ministries, but it may take some time for training and scheduling to take place.

Thank you for all of your patience during these times.  We appreciate your continued efforts to stay safe in the midst of these changes.   Let us continue to pray for one another and encourage one another always!
