Sunday Masses at St. Anthony’s this weekend! We were notified mid-week that we would be opening for Sunday Masses this weekend. This is a quicker than expected start-up!
We will still be Facebook live-streaming the Sunday 9:00 AM Mass.
Eventually an additional external sound system to be used in the Parish Church will allow for overflow people to at least hear the Mass outside and then to receive Communion! Given the fast start-up, this will not be ready this weekend.
Please note that with safe distancing the
Shrine Church can hold 48 people; the
Parish Church can hold 105 people; and the Gym can hold 88 people. There is seating for 1 person, 2 persons – couples, and - 3 and 4 persons – family groups. Please use the appropriate seating.
There can be no overflow at the Masses with people standing given the 6 foot social distancing!
PLEASE ENTER FROM THE DOORS THAT ARE OPEN ON THE SIDES OF THE CHURCH AND GYM; EXIT FROM THE REAR DOORS OF THE PARISH CHURCH AND THE GYM. WEAR MASKS. SANITIZING STANDS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE ENTRANCES. PLEASE USE THEM. USHERS WILL ASSIST YOU IN FINDING THE CORRECT SEATS!
Holy Communion will be given on the hand. Please observe the 6 foot social distance at all times to include when receiving Holy Communion!
So, please be patient and considerate of others as we begin this process. Again, if all the seats are taken no one else will be able to come into the Mass.
The Offertory donations will be dropped in centrally located collection baskets. No passing of baskets!
We will have the normal Mass schedule with some adjustments.
Saturday – 5:00PM – Parish Church
Sunday – Parish Church – 7:00AM, 9:00AM, 10:30AM, 11:45AM, 1:00PM & 7:00PM
Sunday – Gym – 10:30 AM (app. 88 people) w/AC.
(We moved the normal Shrine 10:30AM Mass.)
Our dedicated maintenance staff will clean the Church between the Masses. So please cooperate with them to facilitate this.
PLEASE KNOW THAT THE CARDINAL HAS EXCUSED THOSE WHO ARE HIGH-RISK OR ARE NOT YET COMFORTABLE FROM THE OBLIGATION TO ATTEND SUNDAY MASS. PLEASE USE CAUTION.
WE WILL STILL FACEBOOK LIVE THE SUNDAY 9:00 AM MASS FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT COMFORTABLE COMING TO MASS!
Again, let’s pray, be patient and considerate as we begin this resumption of Masses!
It will be nice to see you in the congregation, again!!!
