Preparing To Come Back

You are currently under no obligation to attend Mass
 
All Catholics in the Archdiocese of Washington are still dispensed by Archbishop Gregory from their Sunday obligation to attend Mass until further notice.
 
If you are particularly vulnerable (e.g. over the age of sixty, have an existing heart or lung condition, diabetes, or otherwise immuno-compromised) you are encouraged to stay at home and not attend Mass.
 
If you or any members of your household have been diagnosed with COVID-19 (aka the Coronavirus), or over the last two weeks have had a fever, a cough or shortness of breath, please stay at home.
 
We will continue to Livestream our 9:30am Sunday Mass via YouTube.
 
Our seating will be limited to 100 people per Mass given social distancing requirements of our county. Here is what you will need to do if you want to attend Mass on the weekend:
 
1. Show up 20 minutes before Mass to be seated by an usher.
2. Wear a mask.
3. Maintain a six-foot distance from parishioners you do not live with.
4. Do not congregate or socialize before or after Mass.
5. Bathrooms will be for emergency use only. Please plan ahead.
6. Receive communion in the hand.
              
If you strongly desire to receive communion on the tongue, please call Fr. Scott Holmer at (301) 249-9199.
 
Our weekend Mass schedule has changed slightly:
 
5:30pm              Saturday
7:30am              Sunday
9:30am              Sunday
11:30am              Sunday     This Mass has been suspended until further notice
 
Initially, there will be no public daily Mass during the week as we adapt and evaluate our procedures under these restrictions.
 
Please be patient as we make adjustments.
 
Our first public Mass will be the 5:30pm Mass on Saturday, June 20th.
