St. Ignatius of Antioch Parish

1-Parishioners must wear masks to protect others from the virus should they be carrying it even though they may be asymptomatic.

2-Please use the hand sanitizer when you enter Church and when you leave. 

3-You will notice that there are collection baskets at the entrances of the church.  This is because we cannot pass the baskets safely.  If you are not giving online or mailing in your parish support, please drop your offering in the basket at the door either before or after Mass.  If there are any special collections, please drop these envelopes in the baskets before or after Mass.  The baskets will be merged and presented at the offertory time.

4-You will notice that half the pews are roped off.  This is to give adequate social distancing between you and the people in front of you and behind you.  Here is the biggest challenge: you need to sit in a pew that allows six feet of social distancing between your household and another household.

5-As before, the Sign of Peace has been eliminated as well as Communion under the form of the Precious Blood.

6-When you come to Communion, please stay six feet behind the person in front of you.  Two of the tiles on the floor present an adequate distance.  

7-Please receive Communion by hand.  If you are adamant about receiving Communion on the tongue, then please wait to the end of the Communion line.

8-When you exit Church, please leave adequate room for social distancing between your household and other households.

9-The dispensation from the obligation to attend  Sunday Mass remains in place.  Parishioners older than 75 or with any serious physical condition should consider remaining home.  Parishioners who are not comfortable with returning to Church at this time out of fear of contracting the virus should remain home.  As long as the dispensation is in place, Msgr Pellegrino and Fr. Bell will continue to post taped Masses.  However, parishioners should realize that a taped Mass is not the same as attending a live Mass and receiving communion.
