Can Everybody Go to Mass?
Bishop da Cunha has said the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass will remain in effect until further notice. Our governor is asking vulnerable, at-risk and otherwise concerned persons to remain at home, this includes those who are over 65 and those with underlying health conditions. Those who are feeling sick, or have any symptoms of illness must stay home so as to avoid spreading sickness. Therefore, we ask you to use precaution when deciding whether to come or not.
You must register to attend Mass. It may sound strange; however, in order to keep people safely distanced inside the church buildings and maintain under 40% capacity per Massachusetts requirements, it is necessary to limit the number of individuals inside the church for Mass. We ask that you email or call to register for a particular Mass for that coming weekend. If Masses fill up we will let you know and direct you to an open Mass for that weekend, or put your name first on the list for the following weekend.
What do I need to do for Mass?
Please bring and wear a face covering into church. A face covering is not primarily for yourself but for those around you.
Please bring hand sanitizer. We will have sanitizer at the doors of the church, however this supply must be used prudently and carefully for all parishioners for several weeks.
You MUST come 20 minutes early. This is crucial. We will not be able to keep social distancing if everyone shows up exactly at the time of the Mass.
Other items to note:
You will be brought to a seat which will be at least six feet away from others (this does not apply for families living in the same home).
There will be no singing from the congregation at Mass. The research has shown that the virus spreads mostly through water droplets escaping from our mouths, which would include while singing. Our cantors will sing and will maintain a distance of at least six feet from others.
There will be no missalettes or bulletins so as to limit the number of surfaces by which the virus could spread. You may view and print bulletins on our websites, or call Barbara at 508.775.5744x200 to have one mailed to you.
The collection baskets will not be passed. Instead, we will leave baskets at the doors of the church for people to use for their donations. We also encourage online giving through WeShare.
Distribution of Holy Communion will be possible with specific directions which we will communicate at Mass.
Confessions
Regularly scheduled confessions will be held. Parishioners will have the opportunity to speak face to face or use a screen and social distance will be maintained.
OLV Confessions: Saturdays after the 9AM Mass and from 3:30PM to 4:15PM in the Parish Center. Please enter through the Parish hall door (not the main office door) and be seated at an appropriate distance from others as you wait for the Sacrament.
We realize there are many changes and details. Please know that all of these are being taken for the safety of our parishioners. If there is any way that we can be of assistance please do not hesitate to reach out.
Please know of our continued prayers and availability as we navigate this challenging time together!
