Please remember that, at this time, we can only have a maximum of 100 people present at any one time (which includes the ministers). Even though we cannot have everyone physically present at the celebration of the Mass, at this time, Bishop Barnes’ dispensation is still in effect.

For those who decide not to attend Mass at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church physically, we encourage you to participate in our livestreamed Masses. St. Paul livestreams two Masses every Saturday at 4 p.m. English and 6:30 p.m. Spanish. Also, Mass every weekday at 8:00 a.m. We livestream via our YouTube Channel and Facebook page. For information about everything that's happening at St. Paul.

For now, and in order to comply with State regulations, as well as our own Diocesan directives, the following will be observed by everyone:

• Obtain a valid ticket from through Eventbrite. These tickets are free and will help us in maintaining a count on the attendees. Every gathering for Mass is limited to 100 people including the ministers. No walk-ins will be allowed to enter at this time.
• On the day when you will attend Mass, do a self-assessment. If you have COVID-19, have been exposed to COVID-19, live with someone who has COVID-19, or have one or more symptoms of COVID-19 (such as fever or chills; cough; shortness of breath or difficulty breathing; fatigue; muscle or body aches; headache; new loss of taste or smell; sore throat; congestion or runny nose; nausea or vomiting; diarrhea; etc.), please stay home and do not come to the church.
• Prior to coming to Mass, make sure that you bring with you a valid ticket for that Mass. (The ticket may be printed out on paper or be accessible on your smartphone.)
• Please bring hand sanitizer with you so that you can sanitize your hands prior to entering Maher Hall and before receiving communion.
• Everyone coming to church WILL be required to wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth. The mask must be worn from the time you arrive until the time you get into your vehicle and depart for home. The only time that you may temporarily remove your mask, is at the moment when you consume the Eucharist during the Communion Rite. Please note that those who are 2 years of age or younger, are not required to wear a mask.
• At all times, maintain strict social distancing of at least six feet from other people (except for members of your own household).
• Strict social distancing begins in the parking lot. Please do not park adjacent to another car. We will have volunteers to make sure proper distance is kept in the parking lot. Please wear your mask when you exit your vehicle.
• Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the Mass. You probably will have to wait in line as each family will be seated individually. Please stand at least six feet apart from other people who do not live in your household, although members of the same household may stand together.
• At the door of the hall, a staff member or volunteer will scan the QR code on your ticket. If you do not have a valid ticket for that Mass with a valid QR code, you will not be admitted, and will be asked to return to your home.
• If you are not wearing a mask, you will not be admitted.
• Internal guidance ministers will guide you to your seat. At this time you will NOT be allowed to choose your own place to sit. You may NOT roam around the church property or touch the statues, artwork, or other objects.
• The invitation to the Sign of Peace will be omitted. No physical contact will be made during the Sign of Peace.
• At this time, Holy Communion will be offered ONLY in the hand.
• Lines for Communion will be monitored so that communicants observe the six feet physical distancing guidelines.
• After Mass, people will be dismissed by ROW by the internal guidance ministers. Please be patient with this process and exit ONLY through the doors indicated by the minister. As you exit, please remember and follow the six feet physical distancing guideline.
• When your seating section has been dismissed, please proceed directly to your vehicle. Please do not gather with others in the courtyard or the parking lot.

As we slowly begin this process of heading back to normal, there will be many, MANY changes that everyone must follow, so that we can continue to move forward and eventually find ourselves back to enjoying a fully gathered community of faith.

Please be aware that these modifications are temporary, and will continue to change as we journey forward.
