6. Masks should be worn in the communion line.  After the priest places the communion in your hand, please step to the side, lower your mask, consume the Eucharist, and then re-mask.

   On Palm Sunday we will return to distribution of Holy Communion at the usual time, with some adjustments. To help with social distancing:

   2. Hospitality ministers will direct the congregation for the reception of Communion.
   3. Reception will begin with the last pew of the Church and work forward. 
   4. Everyone will come forward using the center aisle and return to their pew via the side aisle.

   Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we restore the liturgy to its original rhythm.

1. One main entrance (Fellowship Rd.) Two exits (St. Mary and St. Joseph altars.)
2. No offertory collection. Please leave your gift in one of the baskets. We encourage online giving through GIVELIFY.

Additional COVID-19 Precautions

We shall clean the church after each Mass (We are looking for volunteers to help with the cleaning - please call the rectory 856.667.8850.

Because it is impossible to accommodate all our parishioners for Sunday Masses, we are asking those with flexible schedules to consider attending on a different day of the week. Remember, the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days remains suspended until further notice. In other words, it is not a mortal sin to miss Mass on Sunday, especially if you are staying home to stay safe and healthy.

We advise those in higher risk groups to continue to participate in Mass through television or the internet. For those who may be at some risk but who still seek to return to holy Mass and to receive the blessed Eucharist, I humbly recommend that you attend one of our 9am daily Masses (Monday - Friday). Of course, if you have any symptoms or someone in your home has symptoms, please stay home.

Our church has been arranged for social distancing. Every third pew is open. Blue tape marks a 6 foot distance in the middle of the pew. A family of 4 may sit together on the main aisle, while a smaller group (1-3) may find spaces along the side aisles. A large family can take the whole pew, of course.
