FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I commit sin if I am not able to attend Sunday Mass during this COVID-19 pandemic?

Archbishop Jose Gomez, Archbishop of Los Angeles, has dispensed the faithful of the archdiocese from attending Sunday liturgy during this COVID-19 pandemic. This continues to take effect indefinitely until further notice.

This means that the faithful is not committing any sin when he or she is not able to fulfill his or her Sunday obligation.

You are, however, encouraged to join us in our live streaming of the celebration of Holy Mass in our Facebook page and YouTube account. You may choose also to attend Mass televised in other networks or live stream by other churches.

Kindly consult your doctor before even considering attending our liturgical celebrations. Let us keep ourselves safe and ensure the health and safety of others.

Why do we need to have STUBS for ENTRANCE?

Do I commit sin if I am not able to attend Sunday Mass during this COVID-19 pandemic?

Are we required to use face mask to attend the liturgical celebration?

For the time being that the number of people allowed to attend the celebration of the Mass is limited to 100 attendees for either indoor or outdoor services as opposed to the regular attendees before the COVID-19 pandemic.

For health and safety reasons and in order to limit and control the number of people lining up outside the Church, we will be employing the STUB for ENTRANCE Procedure. No STUB for ENTRANCE - No entry.

The faithful will need to get the STUB for ENTRANCE at the parish office before the scheduled Mass. This includes family members of the liturgical ministers and volunteers helping or serving in a particular celebration.

Kindly do not forget the STUB given to you. Bring them when you go to Mass.

The STUB entitles one to attend just the Mass schedule indicated in the STUB. It cannot be used for another Mass schedule.

Are we required to use face mask to attend the liturgical celebration?

Wearing a face mask in public places has become the new normal during this COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, you are required to use face mask to attend the liturgical celebration. We will be strict in implementing this protocol to ensure the health and safety of everyone. No face mask - No entry.

There will be face mask available at cost in the parish office. Kindly bring exact change - 70 cents each.

We also advise the faithful to bring their own hand sanitizer, disinfectant spray, and rug that they can use to disinfect before and after using the pew, table or seat. Please do your due diligence in ensuring your own health and safety.

We advise that you use white vinegar as disinfectant for the church pews. Formula for the wood disinfectant is 1 part white vinegar and 3 parts water. You may add 2 drops of liquid soap.

We will be doing our due diligence to ensure that pews, tables and chairs are cleaned and disinfected before every liturgical celebration. Let us help each other make the environment in and around the church safe for everyone to use.

Kindly properly dispose any material you used to clean up the area you occupied by putting them in the wastebasket or waste bins found all around the church premises.

How do we keep our physical distance to one another in the church?

Are we required to use face mask to attend the liturgical celebration?

How do we keep our physical distance to one another in the church?

For Phase 1 of public liturgical celebration, only 25% of the capacity of the church or 100 people, whichever is lower, are allowed to be in the church or in the open space where Mass is celebrated.

Due diligence has been observed to ensure that people are 6 to 8 feet apart from each other physically.

In the church, only three persons are allowed to seat on a pew. We have cordoned off two pews in between the occupied pews.

We can only allow more than three persons in a pew provided that they all belong to the same household.

In the open air Mass area, we have set up lunch tables as sitting area for family or one household. This will sit a minimum of 4 members of one household. If the family is less than four, they will be asked to sit down individually using the chairs in front of the temporary altar.

No one is allowed to move from one pew, table or chair to another to greet an acquaintance or relatives. They are to remain where they are seated throughout the whole liturgical celebration.

Exiting the church or the open air venue after a liturgical celebration will be by area or row. An instruction will be given to guide the smooth and orderly exit of attendees.

How would the receiving of Holy Communion be done?

Are we required to use face mask to attend the liturgical celebration?

How do we keep our physical distance to one another in the church?

At the start of the pandemic, Archbishop Jose Gomez has decreed for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles that communion will be in one specie, that is, the Body of Christ.

Communion of Blood of Christ will be only for the priest celebrant.

Communion by the hand will be the norm during this pandemic. Communion by the mouth is strongly discouraged.

Those receiving communion will have to observe the required physical distance between each other.The floor is marked by a blue tape where each one should stand while in line to receive Holy Communion.

The minister giving Holy Communion needs to sanitize their hands before receiving the ciborium and must be wearing a face mask but no gloves will be required.

If the hands of the minister gets contaminated by touching the hand of the parishioner, the minister must stop giving communion and have his hands sanitized before continuing in giving the Holy Communion to the next person.
