The Guidelines and Instructions from State of California and The Archdiocese of Los Angeles

June 3, 2020

Out of gratitude and charity, we present these guidelines and ask you to kindly follow them.  For some, they may appear too strict and others might find them too relaxed.  Yet, we believe these prudent guidelines will allow us to reverently celebrate Mass while also being cautious and respectful.  If you have displayed any symptoms of illness in the past two weeks, please refrain from attending.  Dispensation for attending Sunday Mass continues indefinitely.
 

1. Per state guidelines, we ask that you come wearing a face mask.
2. Seating will be assigned. Many rows will be blocked off, and an usher will be there to direct you to your seat.  You will be able to sit with your family, but spread at least 6 feet from others
3. Stand 6 feet apart in line to receive communion. Leave your mask on to receive the Eucharist in your enthroned hands, step to the side to take off your mask to place the Communion in your mouth and return your mask over your mouth.
4. No Precious Blood will be distributed
5. The priests and eucharistic ministers will use hand sanitizer before and after distributing communion (Note: if it is necessary during the mass after ministers touch the part of hands of the communicant)
