We know that some will not be able to return to Mass right away but we can still celebrate at home. See some ideas below:

• Watch our 10:30 a.m. Sunday Mass via livestream from St. Bruno's (or the 9 am Sunday Mass livestream from St. Paul)
• Read the Scripture readings (link on right) 
• Say the prayer of spiritual communion in this time when you are unable to receive Holy Communion.
• Here are more ideas about Courageous Communion from the Arch
• Join Mass with Heart of the Nation
• Join the Archdiocese's YouTube broadcast of the Mass from the Cathedral at 11:00 am
• Listen to Mass on Relevant Radio

We know that these virtual options will not replace gathering with our faith community, but we hope that you can continue deepening your faith and trust in God as we walk through these uncertain times. You all are in our prayers especially during this trying time!

CAPACITY & SEATING
Seating is still limited due to social distancing. Over the last several months we have maintained a safe environment for all Mass attendees.
 
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.
• Masks are required. Please supply your own mask and wear it when on campus.

• 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

• Communion will be distributed by Fr. Dan, Deacon Joe, and a couple of trained Eucharistic Ministers. Please let us know if you would be willing to distribute communion.
• 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.
