In view of the on-going hazards posed by the H1N1 virus and in response to several Parishioners’ requests, Fr. Vidrine has decided to implement the following procedures for the Sign of Peace at Mass until further notice:
- At weekend Masses, the Sign of Peace will be given by a simple nod of the head or other gesture that does not involve physical contact.
- At weekday Masses, the option to omit the Sign of Peace will be chosen. So, directly after the prayer for the Lord’s peace, the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) will begin.
- At all Masses, the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion will use hand sanitizer before beginning the distribution of Holy Communion.
