From the Diocese of KCSJ |
Bishop Johnston mandates the following guidelines currently, in addition to those previously given, regarding Mass and related liturgies within the Diocese of Kansas City – St. Joseph until further notice: -The sick or a member of the Christian faithful who has a compromised immune system are to refrain from attending Mass. -Holy water fonts without a filtration system and continual flow of blessed water are to be emptied. (The Holy Water font at St. Patrick has been drained and cleaned, and the filter has been changed.) -Physical contact is suspended before, during, and after Mass and at other liturgies, encouraging the “social distancing” necessary to assist keeping everyone as healthy and safe as possible. The Sign of Peace is to be offered, but without touch. -Those administering Holy Communion are to be in good health, free from symptoms of illness and have not been in contact with someone who was ill in the previous 14 days. -Distribution of Holy Communion from the chalice – beyond the presider and any concelebrants for a valid Mass – is suspended. -As our Masses are less than 1,000 persons, their celebration continues to be offered daily and on weekends. Presently, Masses are not cancelled. -Decisions on other liturgical celebrations, for example, the Chrism Mass will be determined at a later date. -Contingency plans are in place to respond to this developing situation and further monitoring will allow additional communication of updated guidelines and steps to address this virus while caring for the common good and our most vulnerable persons at this time. -All decisions regarding parish, school and diocesan workplace operations will continue to be determined by developments in the COVID-19 situation in the Kansas City and northwest Missouri diocesan area, as well as by the effects on each individual community. We reiterate to our parishes, schools and staff the importance of reviewing the CDC website regularly, staying home if one is sick, following hygiene and travel guidelines from health officials, and reporting any pertinent information to the local health department. |
