The Diocese of Greensburg will allow parishes to

recommence Holy Mass on June 1, Bishop Edward C. Malesic announced May 18. Bishop Malesic noted,

however, that returning to Mass and other liturgies will include notable differences from past experiences as

parishioners will be required to wear masks and remain six feet apart. Additionally, the Sign of Peace will no longer

include a handshake and holy water and baptismal fonts will be drained. “We might find that other practices need to be

altered as well as we learn to live in this ‘new normal’ for the time being. Our clergy, my staff and I will do everything we can to help you understand these changes and remind you

that we must always proceed with caution, empathy, understanding and faith,” Bishop Malesic said. “For the fore-seeable future, all people will remain dispensed from the obli-gation to attend Mass on Sundays. I ask that you make your

own prudent and informed decision on whether to attend Sunday Mass or not, after taking your own situation

into account. You should especially use this dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass at this time if you are elderly or

have a medical condition that puts you at greater risk for serious complications from this disease,” Bishop Malesic said.

Additionally: Those who feel vulnerable because of their age or health are encouraged to stay home, while those who are sick should not attend public Masses. Streaming Masses will continue. People will be seated at least in every other pew using social distancing guidelines. All communicants will be encouraged to receive the Sacred Host in the hand.

The Chalice of the Precious Blood will not be offered to

the congregation. Musicians are being asked to limit

music and choirs will not be permitted. All hymnals

and missalettes are required to be removed and non

re-usable worship aids will be used in the interim.

Confirmations and First Communions can recommence

in July and should be divided into smaller groups if

necessary. Receptions into the Church for RCIA can

recommence immediately at the Pastor’s discretion.

Special consideration will be given to families who

would like to delay sacramental celebrations until a

later date. Pastoral care will continue for the critical

ill, all other homebound visits have not resumed.

Collections will not be taken during Mass but there will

be baskets within the Church or you may mail your

contributions to the Parish Office or place your

contribution in the black mailbox at the main entrance

of the Parish Center. Bishop Malesic encourages

people to stay connected to their faith by watching

a streaming Mass or

by visiting TheAccen-

tOnline.org regularly

news, checking the

diocese website, or
