We are EXTREMELY happy to announce we have been given the go ahead to open Holy Family on June 1. There will be strict protocols that we are asking our parishioners to adhere to and be patient with as we are all learning a new way to live and celebrate our faith together in prayer each day. Here are some key points you will need to know and adhere to, these will be strictly enforced by Fr. Bill and Fr. Jack.

SIGN UP IS REQUIRED AND FOR NOW YOU MAY SIGN UP
FOR ONE MASS A MONTH TO ALLOW MORE PARISHIONER A CHANCE TO COME TO MASS.

BASIC PROTOCOLS

ONE ENTRANCE AND ONE EXIT DOOR WILL BE USED AND WILL BE CLEARLY MARKED.

IF YOU ARE SICK, PLEASE DO NOT ENTER.

AN USHER WILL SIGNAL WHEN IT IS YOUR TURN FOR COMMUNION.

In addition, you will notice some other changes. We will not have Eucharistic Ministers, only priests and deacons will be administering communion. Music will include only a musician and cantor. We will have one Lector and one Altar Server. Missallettes and Music Issues will not be in use.

We will be spraying down pews with sanitizer after every Mass. Please be mindful of when you have small children attending, as they will sometimes put their mouths on pews.

Collection baskets will be placed in the aisle as you come in, you are asked to drop your donations in the basket as you enter, although, online giving is still our strongest recommendation. You can do so here https://stthereseparishmaine.weshareonline.org/
