Mind Your Mask - Important reminders for in-person worship and gatherings!
- Please remember to wear your mask and have it cover both your nose and mouth. Don’t remove it when you are speaking – that defeats the purpose of wearing a mask. Here’s a helpful phrase to remind yourself or someone else: Mind Your Mask (with thanks to the London Underground for inspiration – Mind the Gap). If someone says that to you, they are respectfully asking you to adjust your mask.
- Stay at least 6 feet away from anyone you don’t live with, no matter how glad you are to see them.
- Doing these things will help to keep you, your families, our parishioners, and our community safe. Thank you!
