The St Joe parish family has been doing GREAT with Mass, following social distancing and wearing a mask, working hard to help keep everyone safe! Thank you!
One consideration to keep in mind when selecting your seat for Mass. Let's remember to keep the MIDDLE sections available for families and groups of 4 or more when possible. END sections are perfect for the 1-3 folks attending together.
Remembering this guideline will help us make as much room for our neighbors as we can, getting more people back to the Mass and the Sacraments.
Yes. Please follow the instructions offered by the elevator buttons. Only one person should be in the elevator at a time unless one is accompanied by a personal assistant.
Offertory baskets will not be used for the foreseeable future. We highly encourage online giving for your safety and the safety of our parish staff. CLICK HERE FOR ONLINE GIVING DETAILS. If you do bring an envelope, please deposit it in basket at the main entrance when you enter the Church before being directed to your pew.
Communion procedures will look different, please don't make any assumptions. Instead, follow the direction of the Amabassadors as they will direct you through the communion line. When your pew is dismissed, you will walk to the Priest/ Eucharistic Minister with your mask on observing social distance, DO NOT REMOVE YOUR MASK UNTIL AFTER YOU SAY AMEN, step to the side, remove one side of your mask, consume Jesus, return your mask in place, then continue walking to return to your pew.
Please exit the door closest to your pew which will allow for efficiency and social distancing while exiting. Exit the building and move direclty to your car respecting others by offering social distancing. Please be flexible and accomodating while we work through these new procedures.
