EASING OF COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS
In light of the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in New York State, which the Archdiocese of New York has confirmed applies to houses of worship, parishes are now able to take the following course of action:
• In offices and meeting settings where all individuals are proven to be vaccinated, masks and social distancing requirements can be eliminated.
• The wearing of masks will not be mandatory, but it is still recommended that some social distancing be respected for those who are unvaccinated or medically compromised.
• Choirs comprised of vaccinated members may resume normal activities.
As a practical matter, not everyone will be ready for an immediate return to normal activities. As such, without the removal of all restrictions and to ensure our people recognize that their safety is our paramount concern, we recommend the following practices continue:
• We strongly advocate that each parish continue to engage in enhanced cleaning of the church and all gathering places. This practice is well-received by our parishioners and guests and continues to demonstrate that the safety of our parish families is our primary concern.
• For now, we will not resume the sign of peace even though our people seem to do so spontaneously.
• Holy water fonts should continue to remain empty.
• Communion from the chalice should not resume right now. Communicants should continue to be encouraged to receive in the hand rather than on the tongue.
It is encouraging that we are moving to a return to some of our usual activities. The ability to practice our faith and administer the sacraments during the pandemic was possible because so many of our good priests and parishioners have cooperated with the advice we were given and made adaptations in the way we worshiped. Let us continue to pray for an end to this pandemic in other areas of the world where it is still widespread.
COMMUNION AND ANOINTING WILL CONTINUE TO BE ADMINISTERED TO THE CRITICALLY ILL AND DYING -
