On June 8 we resumed public Masses with an adjusted schedule. You can see the schedule above, or quickly reach it from any page by clicking the gold floating button labeled with a chalice and host and "Mass Times & Directions." Video of Mass at 5:00 pm on Saturday will be transmitted to our videos page. On the Mass Times & Directions pop-up schedule, the video Mass is marked by a small, gold arrow that will take you directly to the videos page.

When you come to church for Mass, we will be employing safety protocols so that you can stay safe. Here is what to expect and how you can plan ahead.

1. Anyone who is not feeling well, who has an underlying health condition, or is of a vulnerable age--a senior citizen or elderly--should stay home. Sunday Mass obligation remains suspended, and you can join us in prayer at home via video.
2. If you are able to attend a weekday Mass, please do so to free weekend seats for those who work during the week.
3. Everyone must wear a protective mask. We will provide a mask if you don't have one, 
4. Use only the main church doors. Maintain 6-foot distance when approaching and entering the church, and use hand sanitizer available in the entryway.
5. Attendance is limited to maintain 6-foot distance inside the church, and permissable seats are marked with blue circles. Please select marked seats closest to the altar first so that as more people arrive they do not have to walk past you, and so that those who sanitize pews after Mass will not have to clean every pew in church.
6. Households of two or more can sit next to an aisle; blue stickers for every seat indicate the group size that will fit, e.g.,  in Corpus Christi Church up to three family members fit adjacent to a center aisle, up to four persons on a window end of the pew, with a single individual in a seat in the middle of the pew..
7. Please maintain 6-foot distance to receive communion, which will be distributed after Mass. Receive the host in your hand, step away, pull down your mask briefly to place the host in your mouth, and reposition the mask immediately afterward.
8. After communion, do not return to your pew. Exit via a side door, using hand sanitizer on the way out.

While not being able to go to church for Mass saddens us, this is an opportunity to be in solidarity with Christians throughout the world who do not have the chance to attend Sunday worship. These tips can help you participate as fully as possible.

• Before Mass begins set up your computer in a tidy space free of distractions. You could set it on a cloth and add a candle or crucifix. You need not change to “church clothes,” but freshen up and set aside electronic devices. Arrive early, refresh the screen tab, and pray. If you don’t see the altar and a Start button on your screen, refresh again 5 minutes before Mass begins or when the announcement counts down to 0. Enlarge the video to fullscrean by clicking its rectanglar symbol (3rd from lower right); press Esc to return to regular screen.
• During Mass make the appropriate responses and gestures, and join in singing (see music in Mass schedule). Resist the urge to multitask by focusing wholeheartedly on the Mass. Since you can’t receive Communion, pray for spiritual communion using your own words or the prayer below.
• After Mass make your Sunday financial offering via eGiving or ready it for the mail. If you're a visitor, we hope you'll consider contributing via PayPal. Your contribution is essential to maintain parish ministries throughout the emergency and beyond it.

We love having children in our midst. We feel like something is missing when they are not present. Children are formed in the faith not only at home but also in the midst of the worshiping community. Do bring your children to Mass and don't be afraid of noise. Sit near the front so they can see what is going on in the sanctuary.

If you need assistance before or during Mass, a Welcome Team member can help; look for a person wearing a metalic badge with the parish logo.

Parents can find lots of practical tips on bringing children to Mass in this article on "How to Take Young Children to Mass."

This sacrament, also known as Confession or Penance, is offered regularly each weekend and by appointment.
