Welcome to Christ the King

Changes to Mass Protocol
A Letter from Father Jeff
(6/9/2021)

This weekend (June 12/13), thanks to the vaccine available, we are able to get back to a more comfortable liturgy. I appreciate the work and patience of everyone in keeping our parish “going” this past year. While we have been “up and running”, starting this weekend, you will see our “new normal”.

Reservations for Mass are no longer needed. You may sit where you desire. However, the far left front and far right front of the church is still spaced seating, as well as the Parish Hall. If you sit in the spaced seating areas, you must wear a mask.

Hand sanitizer is provided as we have been doing, right before you receive the Eucharist. The priest, deacon and extraordinary minister will continue to sanitize their own hands before and after the distribution of the Eucharist. We are not doing communion on the tongue at this time—only in the hand. We also do not have the Blood of Christ available at this time.

For those who are fully vaccinated, masks are not required at communion time or during the liturgy.

Our hymnals are back as you will now be able to follow along with the Readings. Regarding music, only Cantors will continue at this time. Also, no holy water yet, and we will not use altar servers for awhile.

THANK YOU for pulling together during this most unusual period we have just gone through, and as we continue to work to keep everyone safe.

God’s peace…………Fr. Jeff
