Please read this important update:
Policies and procedures for the return to Public Mass 7-25-2021
Church of Saint Matthew Covid-19 Mass Attendance Guidelines
Masks are no longer required if you are fully vaccinated. Masks are still required if you are not fully vaccinated. If you are vaccinated or not vaccinated and you want to wear a mask, you may do so if you feel comfortable. There is no longer contact tracing as you enter the church. All entrances to the church will be reopened. Sunday in-person 10:15 a.m. Mass will resume on Sept. 12th. Mass will continue to be offered online through Facebook and YouTube for the foreseeable future.
Many of our parishioners and visitors have received their Covid-19 vaccinations, others still have not. We still need to take precautions. It’s common sense and it’s the state law. Please consider the following things before coming to Mass, for your sake and the sake of your fellow parishioners too. Thank you.
Saint Matthew welcomes all to our parish. At the same time, we pledge to keep a safe environment for everyone. Before attending Mass, please consider the following questions and if you answer “yes”, please do not attend Mass in person, but rather follow us on our website or on our YouTube channel.
1. In the past 14 days have you been exposed to Covid-19 or been in contact with someone who has been exposed?
2. Are you or anyone you know experiencing any of the following symptoms you cannot attribute to another condition; fever, chills, new cough, new sore throat, new headache, new loss of smell or taste, new muscle aches, or new shortness of breath?
Please continue your prayers for Father Adrian who presides at Mass online each week (via Facebook and YouTube). Also pray for our sacristans, cantors, musicians & lectors, Alan & John who brought it all to fruition.
We continue to pray for the healthcare workers caring for the sick. As restrictions are slowly eased, pray for all those who are infected with the virus, please pray for all who have died—and their families; and pray for the safety of everyone.
Mass is broadcast on Sunday at 10:15 am via Facebook and YouTube with Father Steve as celebrant. Use either of these methods to watch:
- St. Matthew’s on Facebook – facebook.com/ChurchofStMatthew
- St. Matthew’s on YouTube – youtube.com/c/ChurchofStMatthew
