Cuándo reabrir nuestras iglesias:
- La arquidiocesis no tiene la respuesta por la muy buena razón por la que debemos tratar de ayudar a las personas a mantenerse a salvo de este virus. Al ser buenos ciudadanos y no expertos médicos, debemos seguir los consejos y las reglas de los funcionarios electos y los profesionales de la salud. El coronavirus aún no está contenido y se requiere equipo de protección personal.
- La solemne obligación de asistir a la misa dominical continuó suspendida temporalmente, especialmente para aquellos que sienten que no están listos para regresar a la iglesia. Se advierte a aquellos que corren un mayor riesgo de COVID-19, los mayores de 65 años o que tienen condiciones de salud subyacentes, que no vengan a la iglesia para la misa.

When to re-open our churches:
 -  The arch does not have the answer for the very good reason that we must try to help people stay safe from this virus.  Being good citizens and not medical experts, we must follow the advice and rules of elected officials and health care professionals.  Coronavirus is not yet contained and personal protective equipment required.
 -  The solemn obligation to attend Sunday Mass continued to be temporarily suspended, especially for those who feel that they are not ready to come back to church.  Those who are at a greater risk for COVID-19, those older than 65 years or who have underlying health conditions, are cautioned not to come to church for Mass.

Plans include the following policies and procedures:

• Churches will be sanitized regularly.  Signs will be placed on entrance doors instructing anyone with fever or flu-like symptoms not to enter the church.  Parishioners must wear masks.  
• Attendance at each individual Mass will be limited to no more than 25% of a church's occupancy permit.
• No physical contact during the sign of peace will be permitted.
• Pews will be prepared to safeguard parishioners and will follow published protocols (singles, couples, families with one child, families with more than one child, etc.).
• Frequently touched surfaces in the church will be cleaned and sanitized after every liturgy.  Restrooms will be cleaned between Masses.
• Hand sanitizer dispensers will be available at all church entrances.
• Holy water and baptismal font will be emptied.
• Additional Masses may be added at the pastor's discretion.
• No paper bulletins will be distributed.  Instead, bulletins/ news will be posted on the parish website as we have been doing.
• Non-essential gatherings will be suspended (post-Mass social gatherings, refreshments, etc)
• Communion will be distributed only via the Host - no precious Blood.
• There will be no greeting of people after Mass.
• Tables and chairs in gathering areas will be put into storage so as not to invite people to use them.
• Entrance to churches will be through one door only.  Strict cutoff will be once 25% of the church's capacity is reached.
