Saint Patrick

In the bridge phase, we are allowed to make room for 75% of the church's capacity. Due to the increased number of those coming to Mass, the sign-up has changed. You will no longer have to reserve a pew before Mass. Now there will be a greeter with a list of our parishioners, and they will check your name off upon entry. 

There will still be some distanced pews for those who want them. Many pews will have the tape removed for those comfortable having people in front or behind them.

MASKS ARE STILL REQUIRED - our bishop's decisions for reopening follow the guidelines that come from our Governor and the CDC, so we must respect that.

We need more volunteers 

• We still need to sanitize after each Mass. Consider volunteering to do this after the Mass you normally attend. It does not take a long time. You could stay after a few minutes on the weekend to see how it is done.
• Extraordinary Ministers - I am considering having one extraordinary minister per Mass to help to distribute Communion in the near future. Please call the office if this interests you.
• For more assistance from the parish staff, please email the parish staff or call (815) 857-2315 or (815) 857-2670.
