UPDATED COVID 19 DIRECTIVES
With the latest COVID rates continuing to decline significantly, local and state officials have begun to relax COVID restrictions including mask wearing. Based on this trend the following guidance is offered to the parishes of the Diocese of Springfield.
1 - Mask wearing requirements should be discontinued as allowed by your local town/city officials. Some parishioners may continue to voluntarily wear masks and that decision should be respected.
2 - Altar servers, lectors, music ministers and choirs can be fully restored to their ministry without any restrictions.
3 - Holy Water fonts may be restored immediately. Some parishes may opt to restore fonts at the Easter Vigil at the blessing of the Holy Water. Some parishes have explored touch free dispensers- this could be a possible long-term solution for the comfort of some parishioners.
4 - Meetings, socials and other parish gatherings may be resumed as long as this is in compliance with local regulations.
Thank you for your excellent cooperation with COVID protocols for nearly two years. You have been exemplary. While the Diocese is lifting mask requirements, any who wish to continue to wear masks are welcome to do so. Communicants are still encouraged to receive communion in their open hands. The Parish will be restoring the use of holy water fonts soon.

A note on ultraviolet light in the new ceiling fans .
The near silent ceiling mounted Haiku-UV-C fans, use disinfecting ultraviolet (UV) lights built into the base and aimed up at the ceiling. As the fan circulates air throughout the room, the UV lights kill airborne pathogens that cross their path. As the UV light can be dangerous to eyes if viewed directly, fans direct light to the ceiling. The manufacturer released results of a study from Innovative Bioanalysis, a California lab that tested the fan against the coronavirus this April. The testing report ,written by Kevin Noble, COO of Innovative Bioanalysis, states, “It can be concluded that between 10 and 20 minutes there was an overall [pathogen] reduction of 99.99 per cent or greater.” Thank you to everyone for your good spirits and continual cooperation.
