St. Paschal Baylon

We are scheduled to open for Masses this weekend of May 23rd (6:00 p.m. Saturday) and May 24th (11:00 a.m. Sunday) 

We are scheduled to resume weekday Mass on May 27th at 9:30 a.m.

Please see below for the instructions that need to be followed to help prevent the spread of COVID-19:

* IMPORTANT: Due to the capacity limit for liturgies, in turn limiting the number of faithful who can attend mass and recognizing, too, that those in a vulnerable category should remain home, Bishop Knestout dispenses all the faithful of the Diocese of Richmond from the obligation to attend mass on Sundays and Holy Days until further notice.

* Parishioners are asked to come early to avoid crowding at the door since you will be ushered to the seats one at a time (one family at a time).

* Ushers will be asking questions regarding a history of cough, fever, shortness of breath, COVID-related syptoms. Please be patient and understanding.

* All present for the liturgy ages 3 and older MUST wear face coverings. Anybody not wearing a mask will not be allowed inside the Church.

* All present are encouraged to use hand sanitizer as they enter the Church.

* Parishioners cannot participate in the singing. If there will be, only 1 cantor is allowed to sing and 1 accompaniment.

* There are markings on the pews where one can be seated. Please use it to follow social distancing inside the Church. Families will be seated together.

* There are ushers to guide you to the seats. Please follow them.

* To receive communion, the ushers will guide you. There will be markings on the floor. Please follow them.

* To maintain social distancing, conversations at the commons is discouraged before and after Mass.

* After Mass, the ushers will guide the parishioners to the exit one pew at a time to follow social distancing and avoid crowding at the door.

Good Morning All,

The online donating site that the Diocese set up for us is now charging a processing fee in the amount of 2.39% per transaction so therefore if you use this site all of your donation will not get back to the Church. We suggest that you mail or drop off your donations at the Church to ensure that 100% of your donation stays at our Church.

God Bless You,

Fr. Ongen
