The Thomistic Insititue, using Medical knowledge, Science, and information from the CDC,
in addition to dialogue with several University Teaching Hospitals,
created "best practices" for returning to the public celebration of Mass during a pandemic.
The Thomisitic Institute sent their findings and recommendations to the USCCB, who in turn,
sent the Report to every Bishop in the United States.
Our guidelines are based upon what has been handed down
from the Thomistic Institue through the Bishops.
Though our Video on "What to expect when you return to Mass" includes some humor,
the practices that we began when we returned to the Celebration of Public Mass
in June, 2020, are backed by Science, the Medical Field, and the Thomistic Institute.
These best practices help us to navitgate Communal Spiritual Life in the midst of Covid-19.
With current regulations in place, the Celebration of Public Mass in our Church
is considered SAFER than going to a grocery store, a building supply store,
a movie theater, a casino, an indoor sporting event, or a restaraunt.
WE TAKE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR PARISHIONERS,
YOUNG AND YOUNG AT HEART, VERY SERIOUSLY. -
