Covid-19 Precautions-Amended Dispensation begins Sunday, April 11
Bishop Paprocki has revised the Covid Mass Dispensation. Under the modified dispensation, most Catholics will be obligated to attend Mass, but others will continue to be dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass and Holy Days, including:
Those 65 years of age or older;
Those at risk for severe illness due to underlying medical conditions as described by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention;
Those who care for the sick, homebound, or infirmed;
Women who are pregnant;
Those who cannot be accommodated at Mass because the church was at safe-distancing capacity.
Those who are sick, have a fever, exhibit flu-like symptoms, or who have good reason to think they are asymptomatic of a contagious illness such as COVID-19, are excused from attending Mass and do not require a dispensation. In fact, they are morally obliged not to attend Mass to avoid putting others at risk.
We invite everyone to safely join us at St. Agnes. The following procedures WILL CONTINUE TO BE FOLLOWED for all Masses and gatherings:
Mass Reservations continue to be taken
Masks must be worn whenever on the premises
Social distancing is required. Pews and aisles in the church are marked
25% of full capacity is the limit in the church and meeting spaces. Reservations for weekend Masses and most meetings are required
Please sanitize your hands as you enter our buildings and frequently while here
