STANDING NOTICES
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Please be advised that members or relatives of members who are sick or have been admitted to the hospital and desire the pastoral care of the Church, are asked to make it known by contacting the clergy or the Church Office. It is uncharitable to be in such a state and have not gone through the proper protocol but expect the relevant persons to be aware. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Please be advised that effective 1st May 2023, the following will ensue:
Holy Communion
Holy Communion will revert to 2 kinds, Body and Blood. Persons who are not comfortable with the cup at this time may continue to receive the Body of Christ in one kind. This is still receiving full Holy Communion.
Holy Water Stoups
Holy water will be placed in the stoups (or fonts) at the church doors. Greeting of Peace Worshippers may be encouraged to resume shaking hands and hugging at the Greeting of Peace, as they are comfortable. Those who do not wish any physical contact may continue to share the peace with the waving of a hand, a bow, the bump of a fist, or some other appropriate gesture.
Holy Baptism
Holy Baptism will be administered during the liturgy.
Hand Sanitization
Worshippers must continue to sanitize their hands upon entering the church and as they approach Holy Communion.
Viewing of Bodies at Funerals
Parishes may return to allowing the viewing of bodies in the church building before funeral services.
PLEASE NOTE
Covid-19 is still a reality in our world. The Church, as a responsible organization, must remain vigilant and cautious, willing to pay attention to any restrictions that may be necessary in the future, but also willing to approach and maintain normalcy to the best of her ability.
