Public Masses Resume

06-28-2020News

This is phase one of a multi-phased process of relaxation of restrictions put into place to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus. We are making every effort to protect the health and safety of those choosing to attend Mass. Elders and vulnerable populations are encouraged to stay home in this early phase and watch Mass on our live-stream broadcast or on CatholicTV.  The dispensation from the Sunday Mass obligation remains in effect.

Once registered, we ask that you arrive 20 minutes before your scheduled Mass time and park in the Tremont Street Parking Lot.

Experience Sunday Mass virtually at home on YouTube or Facebook.

Your continued generosity is needed and greatly appreciated during this time. Click here to financially support Holy Family.

Watch this video from the Archdiocese, which will help you see how Mass will work in Phase One of Reopening:

Process for Receiving Communion:

Your Seating Ambassador will let you know when your pew can line up for communion. The floor has markings to help you stay six feet from the person in front of you. You are to approach the Priest or Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion and fully extend your hands. The Eucharist will be carefully placed into your hand to avoid contact. You will then step aside to a designated area, partially remove your mask, consume the Eucharist, and then re-mask before returning to your seat following the directions of the Seating Ambassador.
