     We can now celebrate public Mass with 75% occupancy of our church, which means 450 people will be able to attend Mass at a time, but we must observe six-feet social distancing.  We will resume our regular Mass schedule, but shall continue to record the 4 p.m. Mass on Saturdays for the benefit of those who cannot attend Mass in church.  
     For now, the people of the Archdiocese are dispensed from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass.  If someone is vulnerable and not feeling well, out of charity, they should not celebrate Mass in church with others.  Masks must be worn.  Communion on the tongue is not encouraged.  The sign of peace can be given by bowing or waving.  As people depart from Mass, social distancing must be observed.  The 75% church occupancy applies to Baptisms, weddings, and funerals as well. 

Please view the video of Mass for this weekend on the St. Christopher Church YouTube channel featured below and continue to        
       check back with us for future homilies, meditations, and Rosaries that will be offered.
