If you are sick, if you are at a higher risk of illness with COVID-19, if you present any type of symptom such as fever, coughing, sneezing, please stay home. As always, consult your doctor for advice on your overall health.
We will continue to stream the weekend Mass beginning at 5:00 each Saturday for the foreseeable future, posting on www.stchrisparish.org. Please, if you are unable to attend Mass, continue to stay connected through the online option.
The daily Mass is celebrated at 8:30 AM in the Church.
The faithful are asked to receive Holy Communion on the hand. If you still wish to receive on the tongue, please go to the line of the main celebrant. He will have to sanitize his hands after each time he distributes Holy Communion on the tongue so please be patient.
Prior to receiving Communion, remove your facemask when directly in front of the Minister.
Consume the Blessed Sacrament and replace your Mask over your face before moving to return to your pew.
