August 13, 2021 – New Mask Requirement
Fr. Pete and the entire IHM Church Staff are most grateful to all of you for following the safety directions during the pandemic. The two center sections of the Church are designated for those who are fully vaccinated. Social distancing is not required in these center sections. The remaining sections continue to be designated for those who need to social distance since they are not vaccinated or for vaccinated individuals who would like to be safer by continuing to practice social distancing. In a spirit of care and concern for our neighbors and in light of the Guilford County mask mandate, we are asking everyone to wear a mask to prevent the spread of the Delta variant, which has been shown to infect even vaccinated people. Masks are required in Church unless an individual has a medical reason for not wearing a mask. If you can’t wear a mask, please sit in the social distancing sections.
13 de agosto 2021- Nuevo Requisito de Uso de Mascarilla
Padre Pete y todo el personal de la Iglesia están muy agradecidos con todos ustedes por seguir las instrucciones de seguridad durante la pandemia. Las dos secciones centrales de la iglesia están designadas para aquellos que están completamente vacunados. No se requiere distanciamiento social en estas secciones del centro. El resto de las secciones continúan siendo designadas para quienes necesitan distanciamiento social por no estar vacunados o para individuos vacunados que desean continuar practicando el distanciamiento social. Debido al mandato del condado de Guilford de volver a usar mascarillas y con un espíritu de preocupación y cuidado por nuestros vecinos, pedimos a todos que usen una mascarilla para evitar la propagación de la variante Delta, que se ha demostrado que infecta incluso a las personas vacunadas. A menos que una persona tenga una razón médica para no hacerlo, todos los demás requieren mascarillas dentro de la iglesia. Si no puede usar una mascarilla, siéntese en las secciones de distanciamiento social.

Father Pete's Updated Covid Guidelines (May, 2021)
The general obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation in the Diocese of Charlotte have been reinstated effective Sunday, May 23, 2021.
However, there are some exemptions.
If you are unable to attend Mass, the 5:30 PM Saturday evening Mass, the 9:30 AM Sunday morning and 2:00 PM Sunday Spanish Masses will be livestreamed and posted on our website and YouTube channel for your viewing.
If you would like to attend IHM Church:
We would like to thank EVERYONE for their support during this pandemic. We know it has not been easy! But because of you, we have been able to gather safely, once again, as a community of faith. As we move forward with the lessening of restrictions, please stay vigilant, while caring for yourself and the health of others.
However, there are some exemptions.
- People who are ill or vulnerable to infection are still encouraged to stay at home and attend Mass virtually, on TV or online.
- 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).
If you are unable to attend Mass, the 5:30 PM Saturday evening Mass, the 9:30 AM Sunday morning and 2:00 PM Sunday Spanish Masses will be livestreamed and posted on our website and YouTube channel for your viewing.
If you would like to attend IHM Church:
- We encourage anyone who is in a high-risk group or has not yet been fully vaccinated to continue to wear a mask while inside the Church and to follow social distancing norms.
- The two center sections of pews in the Church are now open and no longer set up for social distancing. These pews are available to all those individuals who are fully vaccinated.
- The three outer sections of pews will remain set up following social distancing guidelines. These pews are available to those vaccinated or higher-risk individuals who still feel more comfortable social distancing, as well as for those not yet vaccinated. Please refer to the signs inside the Church before selecting your seat in these sections.
- There will be music provided but there will be no singing since it aspirates air from your respiratory tract and has been shown to travel more than 6-8 feet.
- The body of Christ will be distributed after Mass and a social distancing friendly traffic pattern will be explained at each Mass prior to distribution of the Sacrament.
We would like to thank EVERYONE for their support during this pandemic. We know it has not been easy! But because of you, we have been able to gather safely, once again, as a community of faith. As we move forward with the lessening of restrictions, please stay vigilant, while caring for yourself and the health of others.
