COVID-19

The Diocese of Charlotte has issued new protocols for the Parishes including:
              
               Liturgical Services:

1. Religious services no longer require social distancing or face coverings.
2. Those who remain vulnerable are advised to continue wearing face coverings or attend Mass virtually.
3. The options of receiving Communion from the chalice and extending the Sign of Peace are to remain omitted until further notice...

• You are ill or your health would be significantly compromised if you were to contract a communicable illness (i.e., you have underlying conditions or are in a high-risk category).
• You exhibit flu-like symptoms.
• You have good reason to think you might be asymptomatic of a contagious illness (such as being in recent contact with someone who tested positive for a contagious illness such as COVID-19 or influenza).
• You care for the sick, homebound or infirm.
• You are pregnant, or caring for small children.
• You are 65 years of age or older (per the CDC’s recommendation of high-risk individuals).
• You cannot attend Mass through no fault of your own (such as no Mass is offered, you are infirm, or you are prevented for some reason you cannot control).
• These categories will be reviewed and revised as needed.
