Guidelines for Observing Social Distancing and other Health Requirements for the Celebration of Mass All four Missouri Bishops have dispensed the faithful from the obligation to attend Mass on Sunday until further notice. The COVID-19 pandemic presents a serious threat to physical health.  
Therefore,
a. Those who are symptomatic or who have been exposed to another with the virus within 14 days are not permitted to enter the church, in accordance with national, state and local health directives. All attendees are asked to check their temperature at home before coming to church.
b. Those who are at risk because of an underlying health issue or who are over 60 are strongly encouraged, for their own health, to avoid the risk of attending public celebrations of the Mass.

• All hymnals and missalettes are to be removed from the pews and stored for the duration of the pandemic. No other materials may be left in the pews. The faithful are encouraged to bring their own missal for use during the celebration of Mass.
• Holy water fonts are to remain empty until further notice.
• The faithful are obliged to wear a mask upon entering the church and during the celebration of Mass, except when seated in the pew and for the brief moment of receiving Holy Communion. Ushers and other volunteers are to wear masks and gloves (when gloves are not available, frequent handwashing will be necessary) throughout the celebration of Mass. Pastors are to see to it that these obligations are enforced without exception. CDC guidelines state that children under two or anyone unable to remove their own mask should not wear them.
• Clergy and other ministers are to maintain six-foot distancing and should not greet parishioners as they enter the church.
• Families are to maintain six-foot distancing between their family and other families or individuals throughout the celebration of Mass.
• Seating is to be arranged such that six feet of distance can be maintained between members of one household and members of another.
• One or two pews are to be left vacant in between congregants such that six feet of distance can be maintained in all directions.
• Offertory processions are suspended as well as the sign of peace. Stationary collection baskets are to be used for donations from the assembly.
• For the distribution of Holy Communion, ushers or other volunteers who are masked and gloved will ensure six-foot distancing in the Communion line. Floor markings shall be placed six feet apart in the aisles in which the congregation approaches the sanctuary for Communion to facilitate proper social distancing.
• Communicants are to receive the Host in the hand, in keeping with the advice of state health officials and thereby to avoid the Communion minister’s fingers coming into contact with saliva or particles exhaled from the communicants’ mouth onto the ministers’ fingers.
• After Mass , family units should depart the church in an organized manner wearing masks and observing six feet of distance between other households. Materials. Clergy and other ministers are not to greet parishioners as they exit the church. There are to be no receptions or social gatherings (e.g., coffee and doughnuts) following Mass.
