The faithful are asked to enter through our designated entrance, which are the main front doors of the Cathedral-Basilica.
All entering the Cathedral-Basilica are required to wear masks, and they must be kept on in place for the entire duration of mass, except for when receiving Holy Communion.
Temperatures will be taken prior to entering the church. Those with temperatures above 99.9 degrees Fahrenheit | 37.7 degrees Celcius will be advised not to enter the church.
You are encouraged to use the hand sanitizers which will be placed at the entrances and exits of the church
Observing social distancing guidelines (6 feet), the faithful are asked to seat themselves starting with the front most rows of pews. Members of the same household may sit together.
Collections will be taken, but there will be no offertory procession.
Distribution of Holy Communion will take place during its regular prescribed time within the liturgy, with the faithful lining up and observing proper distancing from each other. If our Ministers of Hospitality are present, please follow their instructions.
Holy Communion may be received by tongue or by hand, but please remove any gloves if receiving by hand.
Those seated in the church conference room are asked to proceed to the front communion station after those in the last pew in the main church have received Holy Communion. Those on the balcony are asked to remain and a minister will come to give you Holy Communion.
After mass, those inside are asked to exit via the side doors at the East and West Wings of the Cathedral-Basilica. Please be sure to take all personal belongings with you including any tissues you may have used.
Breaking Bread Missals/Hymn Books will not be distributed for use at mass. However, sanitized books will be available at the East and West Wing exits at the end of mass for you to take home for personal use.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. God Bless.
