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.

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?
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.
