Notes for Mass in the Panhandle during Covid

 

For all churches: 

• If you are sick or you think you might be contagious please stay home. 

• Except with members of your household, maintain 6 feet of distance at all times from other persons. 

• Wash your hands before coming to church; wash them afterwards.  

• No handshakes or touching; no sign of peace or holding hands.  

• Everyone is strongly encouraged to wear a mask.  

• Baskets for donations are provided; please generously support the church.  

• Do not be uncharitable to out-of-staters; they are our brethren too.

• Reception on the tongue is discouraged; please receive in the hand.  

• Only those Catholics who are properly disposed to receive Holy Communion should present themselves in the line; no blessings will be given in the line.  

• If you are in the parking lot, please come in to receive Holy Communion at the directed times or when you see persons from inside leaving church; we will wait, so don’t rush.  

• Where necessary, we will broadcast a small radio station around the church at 100.1 FM; those in their cars should tune in or watch a stream on our youtube channel: panhandlecatholic.  

• Being attentive and careful is the charity we are called to share.  

• For more information watch our “Back to the Mass” videos on our  Youtube channel: panhandlecatholic.

 

For Good Shepherd: 

• We will have open doors in Boise City.  Pews will be alternately open; keep six feet of distance between your family unit and the next person. Bring sanitizing wipes to clean the spaces you occupy.

• When we hit the maximum capacity, everyone else will need to listen from their cars.

• Communion will be distributed after Mass from the parish hall; after all in the parish hall have received and gone out the door, the south side of the church may go and then the main church.  

• No hymnals or missals will be available for use. 

 

For Sacred Heart: 

• As Hooker has 50+ cases, we will have closed doors.  Please park at the church for Mass and listen to the livestream on the radio station (100.1) or on our youtube channel.

For St. Frances Cabrini: 

• We will have open doors in Beaver.  Pews will be alternately open; keep six feet of distance between your family unit and the next person. Bring sanitizing wipes to clean the spaces you occupy.

• Though we will use the hall, when we hit the maximum capacity, everyone else will need to listen from their cars.

• Communion will be distributed during Mass at the altar; maintain six feet apart, and no blessings will be given in the line.    

• No hymnals or missals will be available for use.  

 

For St. Peter the Apostle: 

• As Guymon has 400+ cases, we will have closed doors.  Please park at the church for Mass and listen to the livestream on the radio station (100.1) or on our youtube channel.
