Welcome Home! We're so excited you want to zoom back to live Mass at St. Hilary Church! At this time, all Masses will be held outside, in accordance with government public health orders.

Things will be a little different when you return, at least temporarily as we continue to battle the spread of COVID-19. We expect attendance to be limited by public health officials. Please read through the following safety instructions carefully. We will be strictly enforcing these guidelines in an effort to act in a socially responsible manner and protect everyone’s health in accordance with CDC guidelines.

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

• Screen yourself for COVID-19 symptoms. Do not attend Mass if you have any symptoms.
• ​Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.
• Please bring your own face covering, gloves, and hand sanitizer.

ARRIVING AT MASS

• Please try not to be late.  When you are late, our volunteers miss key parts of the Mass. Thank you for your courtesy.
• Face coverings (for ages 3+) are required at all times during Mass. Put on your face covering as soon as you exit your vehicle or approach the church.
• Please arrive early. Getting seated will take longer than usual. You will be checked in and screened for symptoms. If there is a line for check-in, please follow the Social Distance markings. Please do not be late to avoid forfeiting your reserved seat.
• Register for Mass in advance below. Registration for Sunday mass will begin at 10 a.m. on the Wednesday before and will close when the maximum attendance is reached or at 4 p.m. on Saturday. Register by clicking the button below.
• Our safety volunteers will seat your household filling open seats from front to back. To ensure six feet of space between households, you will not be permitted to choose your own seats.
• If you will need special assistance, please inform the safety volunteer at the front doors.

DURING MASS

• Please refrain from any physical contact between households at the Sign of Peace or otherwise.
• Collection baskets will not be passed during the offertory, but you will be able to place your weekly gift in a basket as you exit. We also strongly encourage online giving. Click here to give electronically.

​
RECEIVING COMMUNION

• Communion will be distributed during the Mass. Only one section at a time will receive communion to ensure one-way travel and maintain six-foot distances at all times. Safety volunteers will direct you. Please be patient as you await your turn.
• Use of personal hand sanitizer before communion is strongly encouraged.
• The priest and Eucharistic Ministers will sanitize their hands thoroughly and then distribute communion using face coverings. Neither the Eucharistic Minister nor you should wear gloves while distributing or receiving communion.
• Neither the precious blood nor communion on the tongue will be offered to the congregation to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
• Face coverings should be worn in the communion line. After the priest offers you communion,  please step six feet to the side, remove your face covering briefly, consume the Eucharist, replace your face covering, and then exit as indicated.
• After receiving communion, please return to your seat.
  

​
​LEAVING MASS

• At the conclusion of Mass, please exit your seat when prompted by a safety volunteer. Private prayer will not be available after Sunday Masses to prevent criss-crossing traffic patterns.
• Please place your weekly offertory in the collection basket as you depart.
• Unfortunately, clergy will not be able to shake hands as you exit.
• Please do not congregate outside the church. Proceed directly to your vehicle.

​We can't wait to see you again on Sunday!
