Masses have resumed – No sign-up necessary

0

We are happy to announce that according to the directive from His Eminence, Cardinal Dolan, Annunciation-Our Lady of Fatima is once again open for Sunday masses, weekday masses, baptisms, weddings, funerals, and memorial masses.  The churches will only be able to sit at 25% capacity.  Because masses have been well-attended, but not overcrowded, we are no longer requiring sign-ups.  (In the unlikely event that there are too many in attendance, we may have to ask for volunteers to attend a different mass.)

Sunday Masses will continue to be livestreamed at 8 AM, 9 AM and 10 AM and daily Mass will continue to be livestreamed at 8 AM and 9 AM for anyone who cannot attend.  More information will be posted as it is released from the Archdiocese.

We have currently worked out the following guidelines and schedule: 

  • Please arrive to mass early so that we may seat everyone in a timely fashion.
  • Everyone must wear a mask in church and if you can, please bring your own hand sanitizer. There will be a few hand sanitizing stations in church as well.
  • Please make sure to keep 6 feet between you and the next parishioner and please follow the decals on the floors and in the pews.
  • You should only enter church through the front doors (unless you need to use the handicapped entrance) and you must exit through the two side doors.
  • For Communion, we ask that you line up using the side aisles and return to your pews down the center aisle. We recommend that everyone please take Communion by hand.
  • There will be no missals or music books and holy water fonts will be empty.

Both churches will be cleaned and sanitized in between masses. We ask for your cooperation and patience while we implement these new procedures.  We feel they will keep our parishioners safe and hopefully allow all those who would like to attend mass the opportunity to come back to church.
