Bishop Knestout’s dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass is still in effect for ALL Catholics.

Here is a snapshot of what to expect when you return to public Mass, including certain requirements. Here are a few highlights:

1. Do not sign up or attend Mass if you or anyone in your household answers “yes” to any of the following questions:
   • Have you or anyone in your household had a fever in the past two (2) weeks?
   • Do you or anyone in your household have a new cough or new shortness of breath?
   • In the past two (2) weeks, have you been exposed–less than six (6) feet for greater than 15 minutes–to anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19 without wearing the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?
2. Face coverings are required for anyone age 5 or older.
3. Maintain social distance (6 feet) at all times.
4. Follow all instructions given by our ushers/greeters.

La dispensación del Obispo Knestout de la obligación de asistir a la misa dominical sigue vigente para TODOS los católicos.

   • En las últimas dos (2) semanas, ¿ha estado expuesto–a menos de seis (6) pies durante más de 15 minutos–a cualquier persona que haya dado positivo por COVID-19 sin usar el Equipo de Protección Personal (PPE) apropiado según lo definido por los Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades?
2. Se requieren cubiertas de cara (mascarillas) para cualquier persona de 5 años o más.

One part of our parish mission is evangelization, which requires that we know our faith.  Because of a generous donation, our parish has a membership with Formed where we can watch movies and listen to podcasts all about our Catholic faith in both English and Spanish.  This can deepen your understanding of ministries you participate in, or help you learn new things about the Bible or the saints.  This website also has resources for kids!  Check out formed.org for more details and opportunities or email Erica with any questions!

As we  have been announcing, the Church of the Incarnation Clergy are still inviting parishioners to signup to have their house and/or their family blessed. To sign up , just select a slot from the drop down list on the form. At this point we have opened up one weeks worth of slots. You will receive a confirmation email with your responses, including the zoom link. When the time you have selected arrives, click on the zoom link and join the priest or deacon who will walk you through the blessing.
