MASS PROTOCOLS UPDATE

Beginning this weekend, June 12-13, we will make a few changes to MQP Mass Protocols:

+ You no longer need to register to attend Mass in person.

+ You will be able to seat yourself in the Church. (Mass Hospitality Ministers will still be available to assist.)

+ The far south section of the Church will be a "non-physical distance" section. The pew ropes will be removed and you will be able to seat yourself in any of the pews.

The following protocols remain the same:

+ We request that everyone continue to wear a face covering.

+ The other three sections of the Church will continue to be "physical distance" sections. The pew ropes will remain in place to maintain seating in every other pew. Please continue to respect the 6-foot spacing between you and other groups in your pew.

+ Please refrain from congregational singing. (We encourage you to sing in your heart or quietly to yourself.)

+ Additional seating is still available in the Social Hall and the Outdoor Plaza.

If you are comfortable sitting closer to other groups, please consider sitting in the far south "non-physical distance" section. This will be a gift to your fellow parishioners, as this will allow us to seat more people in the Church, rather than overflowing into the Social Hall. If you still feel more comfortable having space, or simply prefer to sit in the other sections, you are welcome to sit in any of the "physical distance" sections.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we adapt the protocols and continue to work together to provide a safe and comfortable environment at MQP for everyone to feel welcomed and able to worship God!

Monday to Saturday, 9am - Live-streamed.

Saturday Vigil, 5pm - Live-streamed.
