I am excited to inform you that we have received additional guidance from the Archdiocese of Washington regarding the lifting of the face masks mandate. Effective this weekend, you will no longer be required to wear face masks in the church or chapel. I know you welcome this news as another step towards our returning to a more normal way of life. The only exception is that our Extraordinary Ministers (EMs) of Holy Communion will still be required to wear face masks during the distribution of Holy Communion.
This weekend you will find the missals have returned to the pews, as well as printed bulletins at church entrances. We are in the process of getting the altar servers ready to return to serving at our Masses and will soon have the ushers available to take up the collections.
I appreciate your patience as we are working through the last items on our list of things to do.
Peace,
Father Potts
