- "The Precious Blood will not be offered at Holy Communion and communicants are strongly urged to receive in the hand." Use of your own hand sanitizer just prior to leaving your pew to receive is recommended.
- "Collections should be taken by use of an unsher-held baskets where congregants may safely place an offering." At St. Michael's, ushers will at the church doors after all Masses to receive your donations.
- Holy Water fonts are emply and the Cry room is closed.
- The church, classrooms, and all facilities have been deep-cleaned.and are continually cleaned after every mass or class.
- We aks that people refrain from congregating in the narthex before or after Mass."
Let us pray the the Holy Spirit will continue to guide us during this time.
Praise God!
