SHOULD I PLACE SIGNS ON THE DOORS, “ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!”? What do you think and fear?
IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT!
Dear parishioners,
Glory Hallelujah! Daily Mass will resume in the Main Church beginning Monday, May 25th (Memorial Day) at 9 AM. Sunday Masses will resume the following weekend, May 30/31, the Solemnity of Pentecost. We will be using the main church only because of its size and ability for physical distancing for the foreseeable future. Our Mass schedule on the weekend is the same: 5 PM Saturday, with Confessions from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM and on Sunday at 8:00 AM and 10:30 AM.
Every other pew is roped off to allow for physical distancing. Family groups may sit together in the pew, but others must space six feet apart. I don’t think we will have any problems with the 5:00 PM and 8:00 AM Masses. I am more concerned about the 10:30 AM Mass and having proper distancing. We ask that you consider wearing a mask, especially for the sake of those who are fearful.
The Obligation to attend Mass is still suspended. If you are afraid to return or if you are not feeling well, please do not attend Mass. We will continue to live-stream the daily and 10:30 Masses until all is back to normal.
Confessions will be heard in the main church in the side chapels on Saturday, May 16th. As well, Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament will return, Wednesday May 20th and Thursday, May 21st but in the main church following the 9 AM Mass. On Wednesday adoration concludes with Confessions at 6:15 PM and the Miraculous Medal Novena at 6:45 concluding with Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. On Thursday, Adoration ends with the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3:45 PM.

How are you able to do that? We've been told,(if I haven't misunderstood), that
permission to celebrate mass in the Diocese with a congregation present is not allowed until June. Please explain.
Diocese of Savannah: if the pastor is ready, daily Mass begins Monday, May 25
And Sunday Mass, May 30/31. Of course with precaution protocols.
If my church was allowed to hold Mass this Sunday or the next I don’t think I would attend yet. I might be more inclined to attend a daily Mass since they have few people. The sign? People don’t read signs. Ushers outside the church guiding them into the church might be a better option. Of course you would need enough ushers, and that might be a problem.
