Here is what St. Bernadette will be doing as we move together out of our Covid-19 mitigations:

We will continue to...

1. Celebrate Daily Mass in the large sanctuary.  Weekday Mass scheduled has returned to M, W, Th, F at 8:15am and Tuesday at 12pm.
2. Sanitize hands upon entering.
3. Not pass collection baskets on weekends (Yea We Share!).
4. Broadcast one Sunday Mass each weekend - 11am.

1. All pews will be open for seating while keeping seating capacity at 60% (700 per Mass).
2. All will walk up to the altar to receive communion.
3. Assembly singing will be increased.
4. Walk-Up Communion at 12:30pm on Sunday will NO LONGER be available.

Here is what St. Bernadette will be doing as we move together out of our Covid-19 mitigations:

We will continue to...
(1)        Celebrate Daily Mass in the large sanctuary.
(2)        Sanitize hands upon entering.
(3)        Not pass collection baskets on weekends (Yea We Share!).
(4)        Broadcast one Sunday Mass each weekend.
(5)        Saturday Mass at 4pm.

This weekend (May 22-23) everyone who is fully vaccinated will be able to remove their mask in the church if they choose. We will, however, keep our seating capacity to 42% which is 500 people per Mass.

Phase I (May 29-30) will involve the following:

1. All pews will be open for seating while still keeping seating capacity at 42% (500 per Mass)

2. You will again walk up to the altar for Communion.

3. The four pew sections to the left of the presider will continue to be segregated at every other pew, and a Eucharistic Minister will still bring Communion to those in these sections.

4. There will again be 2 lectors for each Mass.

5. Assembly singing will begin to be re-introduced.

6. Normal Dismissal Rite (no longer by section).

Phase II (June 19-20) will come three weeks after Phase I, and Phase III (July 10-11) will come three weeks after Phase II. Fr. Jeff will explain each Phase prior to their implementation.
