Inspired by Saint Martin de Porres and the gospel values, our parish family seeks to provide for the spiritual needs of our diverse community through vibrant liturgies and ministries, thereby creating a supportive, loving, caring, and accepting environment for all.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR REOPENING THE CHURCH FOR PUBLIC MASSES:

• Mass will continue to be live-streamed.
• Dispensation of the obligation to attend Sunday Mass continues until further notice.
• Anyone over 60 years old is encouraged to participate in Masses via live-stream only.
• We ask everyone to check their temperature and sanitize their hands prior to mass attendance.
• Anyone who has recently been ill or has been exposed to the coronavirus within the last 14 days cannot enter the church.
• Appropriate cleaning and sanitizing of the church will be conducted before and after each mass.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Everyone attending mass is required to wear a mask or other facial covering.
• The number of attendees at mass in the church will be limited. Ushers will monitor attendance numbers and will notify parishioners if full capacity has been reached.
• Social distancing is required and all parishioners must stay at least six feet from people not living in their household. Pews and the center aisle will be properly marked.
• There will be no missals available; you are encouraged to bring your own for your own use during the celebration of Mass. The projector will be used as we normally do.
• Ushers and other volunteers will wear masks and gloves.
• Entrance and exit doors will be marked and propped open so handles and push bars will not have to be touched. Please observe and only go into the church through the "Enter door". And leave by the exit.

CELEBRATION OF MASS:

• There will be no sign of peace and no passing of collection baskets. There will be baskets placed on tables at the front of the church and gifts can be placed there during communion.
• Communicants will receive the Host in their hands only.
• Communion ministers will be masked and their hands will be sanitized before and after distribution of Communion.
• There will be a single line for Communion in the center aisle and there will be floor markings six feet apart.
• When approaching the Communion minister, the communicants will pull their masks or facial coverings below their chins in order to prepare to receive Communion. The communicants shall immediately replace their masks after consuming the Host.

AFTER MASS:

• Family units should depart the church through the marked exit doors in an organized manner wearing masks and observing six feet of distance between other households.
• No bulletins will be handed out.
