 We strongly encourage people with any one of the following conditions to continue to participate from home: 
If you have heart conditions, diabetes, overweight, have an underlying health condition, a weakened immune system, over the age of 65, or anyone that has been exposed to the virus in the past 2 weeks.
 
To be clear, for the time being no one is under any obligation to attend mass this month. We encourage those who are unable to attend Sunday Mass,
to attend one of our regularly scheduled daily masses to receive Holy Communion.
For those who are not in an at-risk category and choose to return to Sunday Mass we ask that you regularly monitor your own health and be extremely prudent in your decision to return.
