UPCOMING EVENTS & NOTICES
Social Distancing – Friendly Reminders
Beginning September 5th-6th we have to limit the number of people in the Churches to 40% capacity, meaning we need to keep the numbers at or fewer than 100 in St. Teresa’s, 58 in St. Vivian’s, 38 in San Rafael, and 20 in San Mateo. Seating will be on a First Come First Seating Basis. As mentioned in the diocesan policies, the faithful are requested not to “parish hop” for convenience.
During the Sign of Peace, Instead of shaking hands or hugging, please simply nod your head toward one another and avoid bodily contact.
While some have the practice of holding hands during the Our Father, they are asked to refrain from doing so.
If you are not receiving Holy Communion and others in your pew are, please stand up and move out of the pew to allow proper distance to be maintained. Please do not make others climb over you to get in and out of the pew.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Please refer to the latest bulletin located on the top menu of this page for more notices and upcoming events.
