Distribution of Communion Guidelines - for those not attending Mass
-
Communion will be distributed on Sunday morning at 9:45 at the front entrance to the school.
-
Vehicles should enter the parking lot from the Walnut St. entrance closest to the rectory. Park your car and wait (Glenwood entrance will be closed)
-
The sidewalk along the north side of the lot will be marked in 6 foot increments. This is the communion line. You may wait as a family or an individual, but remember, this is not a time for visiting. It is a time to prepare yourself to receive the Lord. We ask that you pray the Our Father as you approach the school.
-
You need to wear a mask as you approach the entrance.
-
When you reach the front of the school, there will be a hand sanitizer station for you to clean your hands - please use it.
-
Communion minister will be stationed at the doors to the school. When it is your turn and the person in front of you has departed, you may approach and receive communion and then exit on the other side. Be sure to offer a prayer thanking Jesus for allowing you to receive Him today.
-
Return to your car and leave the parking lot via the south exit on Walnut.
-
If you are unable to get out of you car because of health reasons, let the attendant know and they will direct your car to a place where communion will be brought to you.
