“BE NOT AFRAID, FOR I AM WITH YOU”
Stay safe, be considerate of others:
►Greet each other with a smile; no need to shake hands
►During the “Sign of Peace” say “Peace be with you” and offer a
smile or the peace sign with your fingers
►During the “Our Father” prayer, raise your hands, but there is no
need to hold the hands of your neighbor
►During Holy Communion, receive our Lord in your hand instead of
on the tongue
►If you are sick, have a persistent cough, or feel shortness of
breath—stay home; parishioners who are sick are released from their
obligation to participate in Sunday Holy Mass
►Wash or sanitize your hands when possible
►Avoid constantly touching your face, nose, ears, or mouth
►If you experience any of the symptoms indicated on the left, call
your Primary Care Physician immediately
Here at Holy Family Catholic Church, we are concerned with the
safety of all parishioners and have taken extra steps to sanitize the
church buildings, especially between Holy Masses. Hand sanitizer
dispensers are available at all church entrances.
Please keep in your prayers all our brothers and sisters who are
affected by the corona virus so that God’s healing touch may be upon
them and their loved ones.
“Heal me, O Lord and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.”
(Jeremiah 17:14)
