Depending on the evolving circumstances related to the coronavirus in the weeks and months ahead and in consultation with the Diocesan Monitoring Team, Bishop David L. Ricken is permitting churches to celebrate Mass. Guidelines have been set forth. We are allowed to have a maximum of 140 people in church. Please note that Mass will still be livestreamed on Sundays at 9:30am.

• Keep in mind that no one is required to attend Mass or receive Communion at this time. (Mass will still be livestreamed on Sundays at 9:30am.)
• Anyone who has a compromised immune system is encouraged to stay home.
• In Christian Charity, anyone feeling ill or showing signs of illness such as fever, cough, flu-like symptoms (even if not COVID related) or if you’ve been recently exposed to someone who is ill or suspected of having COVID-19 or has COVID-19 should remain at home to prevent illness.
