COVID-19 Updates: Returning to Mass

- What Is Different Now?
  
  We now have touchless Holy Water dispensers as you enter.
  
  The collection basket will not be passed during the offertory. Please drop your offering in one of the baskets provided or use online giving.
  
  The Sign of Peace is done without shaking hands. There is no holding hands during the "Our Father."
  
  We have installed REME Halo LED air-purifiers in our air-handlers in the church and parish office. These units make normal filtration much more efficient as well as disinfect the air from mold, VOCs, and viruses.
  
  Please stay home if you have a cough or fever, or aren't feeling well.
  
  Visit DOSP.org/Coronavirus for more information.
