Timeline & Procedures For The Resumption
Of Public Mass & Sacramental Life
• Regularly Scheduled Masses may resume the week of May 18
• Persons with health vulnerabilities are encouraged not to attend public Mass;
• Persons who are sick or feel sick MUST NOT attend public Mass;
• The obligation to participate in Sunday Mass remains suspended thus no sin is incurred.
• Persons are encouraged to take their own temperature before leaving to attend Mass and not come
to church if their temperature is 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or above per CDC guidelines.
• People should bring their own masks and are encouraged to wear them at least when safe distancing may not be possible. Masks will NOT be worn while receiving communion.
• Every other row will not be used to guarantee safe distancing.
• Couples and families may sit together but there must be six feet between each group.
• People are asked to bring wipes or spray to disinfect pews upon entering and leaving
• Please disinfect your hands on the way into and out of church
• In place of the usual manner of taking collections, baskets will be placed at the entrances
• The invitation to exchange a sign of peace will be omitted.
• Hand holding or shaking hands is prohibited during public Masses
• Parishioners should disinfect their hands before getting into the communion procession.
• A six-foot distance needs to be kept between communicants (except for couples and families)
• Communion will be available ON THE HAND and the sharing of the Cup is suspended.
• Communion Ministers must visibly disinfect their hands just prior to distributing communion
• Communion Ministers WILL wear masks while distributing communion
Implementing These Procedures at St. Andrew’s
On the first Sunday we return to Mass, please expect things to be different due to the requirements of safe distancing.
• We will not be able to do the usual visiting in the commons before and after Mass
• We will not be able to just enter the church and sit where we usually sit, since we are only able to use one third of our seating capacity.
• Ushers will have been trained to seat families, couples, and individuals who have let us know in advance the size of their groups.
• Every other row must be left empty.
• Seating must take into consideration that it is not safe to have people “climb” over others to get to their places. This means you may not be able to sit on the aisle. Special consideration will be given to individuals with impairments.
• Keep in mind that wearing masks means everyone may not recognize us which may make some people feel a little strange. Patience and kindness are the order of the day.
• The communion procession will be guided by ushers. Please wait until it’s your row’s turn and keep a safe distance from the people in front of you (except for couples and families)
The Good News is that on subsequent Sundays everyone can just go to the place they were seated the first time. This too shall pass as we continue to pray for the end of this pandemic.

ALWAYS OPEN FOR
PRAYER & ADORATION
Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, Queen of the Angels and Mother of the Americas.
We fly to you today as your beloved children.
We ask you to intercede for us with your Son, as you did at
the wedding in Cana.
Pray for us, loving Mother,
and gain for our nation and world,
and for all our families and loved ones,
the protection of your holy angels,
that we may be spared the worst of this illness.
For those already afflicted,
we ask you to obtain the grace of healing and
deliverance.
Hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful,
wipe away their tears and help them to trust.
In this time of trial and testing,
teach all of us in the Church to love one another and to be
patient and kind.
Help us to bring the peace of Jesus to our land and to our
hearts.
We come to you with confidence,
knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother,
health of the sick and cause of our joy.
Shelter us under the mantle of your protection,
keep us in the embrace of your arms,
help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus.
Amen.

Sincere Condolences
We extend our deepest sympathy to the children, family, and friends of Thuan Hoang who died on April 21st after a protracted battle with cancer. In a conversation with Fr. Jack not long ago, Thuan assured him that she was completely at peace. A graveside service is being planned for just family, but there will be a Memorial Mass celebrated later.
May She Rest in Peace
PLEASE PRAY FOR THE RECOVERY
OF COVID 19 PATIENTS
Valerie McAuliffe called this week to ask for prayers for her mother, Rose Rytlewski, who has been diagnosed positive for Covid 19. She is presently asymptomatic and feeling well. As many of you know, we have been calling all the members of our parish, beginning with the eldest, to see if they are well. Interestingly, we only know of 3 members of our parish who have tested positive. Only one of them died as a result.
