Beginning November 24th, masks will be
mandatory when coming in the St Dominic Parish office. We pray that everyone understands the importance of this decision. It was not made lightly.

Letter regarding vaccine
In order to protect the health of parishioners and clergy and volunteers, the bishops have set a detailed list of conditions that must be observed before public Mass may be safely returned to.
These are:
1. Limiting the total number of persons to 50 or fewer to ensure physical distancing you can contact the
parish to register and we will also be calling!
2. Asking people to answer health and travel questions as required by AHS: You will be asked questions before you are allowed to enter the church.
3. Recording contact information of attendees for tracking if necessary: we will recording your name
and phone number in case someone tests positive for Covid-19.
4. Sanitizing hands upon entry and exit. An Usher will show you where you to your seat.
5. Masks are are to be worn for all volunteers and attendees attending Mass.
6. Observing physical distancing throughout the celebration: every second pew will be blocked off to ensure that the 6 feet is observed.
7. Extra cleaning of the church between Masses: 4 volunteers are needed to help after each mass:
8. Communicants will need to wear a mask when coming forward for communion as does the priest
distributing it. Please put your hands together like it is a bowl so the priest can lightly drop the host in
your hands.
9. No singing during Mass is allowed
10. If you are sick, fever, cold, flu, you will not be allowed to enter the church for the safety of
everyone, please stay home. It is allergy season so we are aware that some of this will not be a
sickness.
The dispensation from Sunday obligation continues as does the live streamed Sunday Mass so that parishes that cannot meet all these conditions can simply wait until Stage 2 and further relaxing of the restrictions
