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.

• 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.
 
 
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.
