Preventing the spread of illness
There are many viruses, colds, & flu strains spreading our community at this time and generally throughout the year, please follow these basic guidelines to help prevent the spread of illness in our parish:
· If you suspect you have Covid –19, a cold or the flu, please stay home. Your Sunday obligation is waived.
· Cover your mouth/nose when coughing or sneezing.
· Wash hands frequently and for the appropriate length of time using soap and water, or using hand sanitizing products.
· Please do not hold hands during the “Our Father.”
· Instead of shaking hands during the sign of peace, clasp your hands together, make eye contact with those around you, and say “Peace be with you,” or “Peace of Christ.”
· If you are feeling sick, please receive Holy Communion in the hand, rather than on the tongue.
