Register for a Mass:
We are asking everyone to register for Mass to facilitate contract tracing if necessary. It is best to pre-register by clicking here. You can also pre-register by calling any of the Parish offices. We are especially asking families of 4 or more to preregister so that we have enough family pews. If you can not pre-register, your envelop with your envelop number will suffice. If you do not have envelopes and cannot pre-register, write your name and contact information on a piece of paper, and put it into the collection box.

Sign-Up to be a Usher or Sanitizer:
We need a team of sanitizers and ushers for each Mass. Only those in a non-vulnerable population should volunteer. You can be a sanitizer and usher for the same Mass, and it is recommended. The main task of sanitizers will be to spray the pews with sanitizer, and then wipe them to protect the wood. Pump sprayers will be used. We will also need to sanitize rails and other high contact areas. You will not have to wear full PPE to sanitize, but you will need to wear mask and gloves. It should take an hour to sanitize. Ushers will mainly direct people before Mass begins, and then be done. One ushers will have to stand outside the bathroom to ensure that only one person goes in at a time. Finally, a few ushers will direct the communion lines so that it goes row by row. The easiest way to volunteer is through sign-up genius. You can also call or email a parish office, and they can sign you up. Training will be provided. Click here to sign up to sanitize. Click here to be an usher.
