Re: Return to In-Person Mass Attendance Update
We have now experienced three weekends of our return to in-person Mass attendance, with one more weekend to go. Attendance to date has been below capacity which has allowed for a relatively smooth transition. Now that we have a fairly solid operational scheme in place, we are expanding the opportunity to attend Mass in person while maintaining health and safety restrictions. These restrictions are reiterated below, along with modified steps to take for in-person Mass attendance effective June 27/28.

•  Weekend Mass schedule remains:
  4:30 PM Saturday St. Peter’s (Mass is also lived streamed and posted to our website)
  8:30 AM Sunday Immaculate Conception
  10:30 AM Sunday St. Mary’s (Mass is also recorded, posted to our website, and broadcast on cable TV – Channel 25)
• All parishioners have the opportunity to make a reservation to attend Mass with the understanding that the number of Mass attendees remains limited to 25% of worship site seating capacity.
• Parishioners who are not feeling well and/or are at higher risk of contracting the
  coronavirus should not attend Mass.
•  Making a reservation to attend Mass:
  1. Reservations may be made online or by phone beginning on Saturday, June 20, at Noon.
  2. Reservations by phone must be made by 4:00 PM Friday and those online must be made
  by Noon Saturday. Note: Only those with reservations are assured admission to Mass.
  While walk-ins up to site capacity will be admitted, admission will be denied once this
  capacity is reached.
  4. If you don’t have internet access, call the Parish Office at 262-284-4266 and provide
  your first and last name, the total number of persons from your household who will be
  attending (including yourself), and the worship site you would like to attend.
  5. When making reservations, please let us know if you or a member of your household
  needs handicap accommodations.
  6. If seating capacity is reached for a particular site, consider attending at another site.
   Gaining admission to Mass:
   Doors are opened 30 minutes in advance (SP-4:00 PM, IC-8:00 AM, SM-10:00 AM).
   With the exception of handicap access at St. Peter’s and IC, admission is limited to one
  entrance.
   If there is a line to enter, please remain at least six feet from those in front of you.
   Upon arriving, check-in with parish staff members serving as hosts.
   Once you’ve checked in, if you have an offertory donation to make, place it in the basket
  located just beyond the entryway. An usher will then seat you/those within your
  household to ensure sufficient distance between Mass attendees.

Note:
1. All attendees are warmly greeted, but physical contact as part of that greeting is
prohibited.
2. All who attend are encouraged to use hand sanitizer available at each entryway.
3. While the use of face masks is strongly encouraged, it is not required.
4. All Holy Water fonts have been emptied and are not to be used.
5. No hymnals/hard copy worship aids are provided, but a single page worship aid is
posted online that may be brought from home or accessed through your phone/tablet.
 Celebrating Mass:
 Once seated, remain in place unless needing to use the restroom.
 During the sign of peace and praying of the Our Father, refrain from physical contact
outside of those from your household.
 Remain in place for Communion; those distributing will come to you.
 Exiting Mass – once Mass has ended, remain in place until directed by an usher to exit the
building to ensure safe distance between Mass attendees, and maintain this distance until
you exit parish property. If you bring a hard copy worship aid, be sure to take it with you.
Should you have any questions/concerns regarding this information, please contact the Parish
Office at 262-284-4266.
These restrictions and steps to attend Mass are still a far cry from our normal experience, but
we look forward to extending the Mass attendance opportunity to all parishioners every
weekend rather than just an alphabetically select group. Again, in order to ensure admission
to Mass, please register ASAP. Your continued patience, understanding, and prayers to the
end of positively engaging in the Mass to as full an extent as we may be able are greatly
appreciated!
