Welcome back to Most Holy Name of Jesus Parish. It is with great joy we open the doors of our Church again this weekend to celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Please read the protocols we are keeping:
As a reminder, the obligation to attend Sunday Mass has been suspended by Bishop Coyne until a vaccine is available.
We are asking you to keep your mask on during Mass and to maintain 6 feet social distance.
For the time being, we are asked not to congregate, even in small groups, before or after Mass.
The cry room/confessional and choir loft are currently unavailable for use.
Currently, we are allowed 25% capacity for Mass, and the Church will open a ½ hour before the weekend Masses.
We do ask for your patience as we continue to follow protocol and begin the process of fully opening up our Churches for the celebration of the Sacraments. We are grateful to God to be able to come together as a parish family for Holy Mass once again.
For the distribution of Holy Communion, after the priest receives, he will come down the center aisle and stop at each pew. Please come to the end of the pew with your hands extended, one on top of the other. For where there is more than one person in your pew, the one closest to the aisle, please step out into the aisle and then back 6 feet to the spot marked on the floor and wait for the others in your pew to receive first. Then come forward. After receiving the Sacred Host, please step inside your pew, pull down your mask, and consume the host immediately.
Please also note that tomorrow after the 1030am Mass, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed until 12noon for Adoration to honor and celebrate the gift of the Holy Eucharist. It will be a powerful time of grace and prayer, and I invite you to come and join us for some or all of that time of Adoration.
