We will be following the guidelines and recommendations put forth by local government, health officials, and the St. Petersburg Diocese.  Many precautions are in place throughout our church to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19.  Those who are ill, elderly or have underlying health conditions are urged to stay home. 

When attending daily Mass, we will be insisting on the following:

• Social distancing - For those who are not from the same household, please maintain a 6-foot distance from each other at all times (Including during Communion) and follow any posted guidelines.  The whole church will be open to help facilitate social distancing. 
• Physical contact is prohibited - Such as during the exchanging the sign of peace or holding hands during the Our Father. 
• All hymnals have been removed - The weekly bulletin contains the daily Mass antiphons for the week. Please take the bulletin home with you.
• Face coverings - Masks are required.  Please bring a face covering and wear it during the Mass. 
• Hand sanitizer - Please use the hand sanitizer at the church entrances before entering (You may also bring your own).

     Our prayer is that whether you join us in person for Mass or stay at home for health reasons, we will be united and present to the Lord in prayer, worship and service.
