In light of Governor Evers Statewide Mandate on Face Coverings, masks are now required to attend Mass, unless there is a medical or other condition that prevents you from wearing a mask. 

 The number of people able to attend is limited to 25% of the church capacity, this is approximately 110 at each Church.  We do encourage you to arrive for Mass early.  If we do reach our capacity you will be directed to an alternate Mass.

As we gather again for the celebration of Mass, we all must do our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We want you to know that your health and safety remains our top priority.  As a reminder, some of the key measures we are taking include:

• Stay home if you are ill, elderly, anxious or have underlying health conditions. Bishop Ricken has dispensed all Catholics in the Diocese of Green Bay from their Sunday Mass obligation until further notice.
• Temperatures will be taken as you arrive.
• Masks are required by State mandate, although some people do have underlying conditions.

• Maintain six feet of social distance from others who are not from the same household at all times while in the church or on church property. We need your awareness and help with this.
• Sanitize hands when entering and leaving church. Bring personal supply of hand sanitizer to use before receiving Communion, if possible.
• Consider receiving Holy Communion on the hand. If you wish to receive on the tongue please come up for communion after those receiving in the hand.
• Show patience and kindness as we navigate this phase together.

• Note that all pews, handrails, doorknob, bathrooms and other high touch areas are sanitized after every Mass.
  
• To assist in sanitizing the church efficiently, please leave your kneeler down so we know the pew was occupied and needs to be sanitized. 
• Please note, there will be no Holy Water at the doors, no exchange of the Peace and no distribution of the Precious Blood.
  
  
• At St. Mary, please enter through the Link Doors and at St John please enter via the 5th Street door bear the school. In order to seat people to maximum capacity you will be guided to a seat by an usher and we will fill the churches from front to back. At the end of mass the Ushers will dismiss you by pew from back to front.
  
  Church doors will be opened a half hour before the Sat. and Sun. Masses. We ask you to arrive early so we can get your temperature taken and get everyone seated.

We continue to humbly ask for your assistance as a greeter, usher or cleaner at Mass.  Please note that you do not need to have previously served in one of these ministries nor do you need to have attended the recent training.  Brief instructions will be provided upon your arrival at Mass.
