The Coming Back to Mass video will
go LIVE at 12pm on Saturday, May 23, 2020.

CAPACITY & SEATING
For now, Masses will be limited to 25% capacity across the Archdiocese.
 
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

• Please wash your hands prior to Mass and it is recommended to wear a face covering during Mass.
• Bring your own hand sanitizer that can be used before receiving Holy Communion.
• Please wear clean clothes to Mass and plan to change your clothes when you get home.
• Masks are encouraged to be worn as soon as you exit your vehicle.

• Arrive 20-30 minutes before Mass begins.
• The main doors of the church will open 30 minutes prior to the start of Mass.
• Our ushers will seat your household similar to attending a wedding beginning by seating in the front of the church and moving to the back.
• Every other pew will be closed and marked off by tape on the floor to provide social distancing (6ft).
• You may be sharing a pew with another household, but social distancing is required between the households. Pews are marked every 2 feet for ease of seating and keeping the 6ft distance in mind.
• The holy water font will remain empty.

• There is to be no physical contact between households at the Sign of Peace or hand holding during the Lord’s Prayer.
• Baskets will not be passed during the offertory. You will be able to place your weekly gift in a basket as you enter/exit the church, but we strongly encourage online giving through We Share: https://stbrunoparish.weshareonline.org/.

COMMUNION PROCEDURES

• Currently, communion will only be distributed by Fr. Dan and Deacon Joe.
• Communion will not be offered on the tongue and the precious blood will not be offered to the congregation, for the time being.
• Use of personal hand sanitizer before communion is strongly encouraged.

• After the final blessing, parishioners must remain in their pew.
• Pews will be dismissed in an orderly fashion starting in the rear of the church and then moving forward. This will be similar to how you would be dismissed from a wedding or exiting an airplane.
• You must exit your pew when prompted.
• All worship aids will be disposable and must be taken with you following Mass.
• Clergy will not shake hands in the gathering place. A wave or long-distance high-five is encouraged.
• Please wash your clothes when you get home to ensure your safety.

• We will continue to implement cleanliness and sanitization practices, including cleaning pews in between every Mass.
• Disinfecting bathrooms, door handles, and other frequently touched surfaces occur throughout the day and especially after every Mass.
