- The Sunday Mass obligation remains dispensed. You are not required to attend; in fact, if you are in an at-risk category you are highly encouraged NOT to come to Mass. And if you are currently ill, it is a moral imperative that you NOT attend Mass.
- Although the Mass times remain normal, many other aspects of how we attend Mass have changed.
- As directed by Bishop Callahan, and in the interest of maintaining proper social distancing, the number of people that can be admitted to a Mass is limited to 25% of the church’s seating capacity. That means only 70 people can be in attendance at each Mass.
- You are asked, but not required, to sign up for the Mass you will be attending by clicking the button above. This will help us to project occupancy numbers, and will also aid in contact tracing should an infection occur.
- If you don’t sign up using the link above, or if you contribute to St. Alexander using electronic funds transfer (EFT), you are asked to bring a piece of paper with the names of those attending Mass as well as a phone number. The slip can be placed in the collection basket. Again, this is not mandatory, but will help with contact tracing in the event of an infection.
- If you use a weekly giving envelope for your contribution, there is no need to fill out a slip of paper. Your contribution envelope will help with contact tracing.
- If you attend Mass, you are encouraged, but not required, to wear a mask. You will need to provide your own mask.
- SOCIAL DISTANCING will be part of everything we do. Doing your part to maintain appropriate social distancing from the moment you arrive will make things go more smoothly for everybody.
- Only the main doors on the west side of the building will be available for entry.
- Seating will only be allowed in every other pew; access to pews not available for seating will be blocked off.
- There will also be blue X’s in the open pews to show where you may sit to maintain proper social distancing.
- Immediate family members may sit together without 6-foot spacing.
- There will only be a single line for Communion. There will be blue tape on the floor to help with social distancing. Hand sanitizer will be available near the front pew.
- Access to the the choir loft will be blocked off.
- Please be sure to maintain social distancing as you exit after Mass.
- The 10:30 Sunday Mass will be streamed live on our YouTube channel. Simply click the link above.
- For your safety, the church will be cleaned and sanitized between each Mass.
- If you can volunteer to help in any way, please contact Deacon Mark.
- Please check back for any updates.
The South door of church, closest to the Rectory, will be open for anyone to come for private prayer Sunday afternoon and Monday through Saturday. The door will be unlocked during daylight hours. If you are feeling sick or have been in areas where you could have been exposed please remain home.
