All Masses will be celebrated inside the churches with the exception of a special 10:00 AM parking lot Mass which is celebrated in the front windows at Saint Malachy Church.  The faithful can listen from their car by tuning their radio to 87.9 FM. 

We will continue to wear masks, socially distance, and sanitize our spaces.

Beginning on Holy Thursday, we are restoring the normal practices for the distribution of Holy Communion:

• There will be multiple communion stations
• Holy Communion will be distributed at the proper time within the Communion Rite
• Sanitizer will be available for the communion minister
• Be aware that some of your brothers and sisters doubt the health and wisdom of receiving Holy Communion on the tongue during the pandemic. In your charity, please consider receiving on the hand for the coming weeks, lest we inadvertently increase our neighbor’s apprehension.
• Masks are to be worn while in line for Holy Communion

Everyone is asked to please register for all Saturday evening and Sunday indoor Masses (registration is not required for daily Mass). Thank you for cooperating with the following directives, which are meant to promote the physical health and safety of all present:

• If you are sick or vulnerable to COVID-19, please stay home. Visit archangelgabrielparish.org/sunday for resources on how to pray from home.  
• Arrive to church no earlier than 30 minutes prior to the start of Mass as the doors will not be open until 30 minutes prior to the start of Mass.  
• Wear a mask while you are in Church unless you are a person who cannot wear a mask due to a relevant medical condition, such persons may be assigned remote seating.  Mask wearing does not apply to infants or toddlers.

• Use hand-sanitizer that is provided when you enter and exit Church.  
• Sit where the staff or ushers direct you; everyone will be assigned seating.  Do not stray from your seat except as instructed, or for emergency trips to the restroom.  For the safety of everyone and especially the vulnerable, this instruction applies even to toddlers. (Sorry!)  
• Maintain a 6-foot distance from everyone not in your own household.  
• Keep the touching of surfaces to a minimum.  
• Once Mass is ended, please do not linger in the church or narthex. Instead, go outside immediately.
