Parents of SRE First Communicants

SIGN UP HERE  for your child to receive their First Communion through the end of August. Space is limited for each Mass.

UPDATE July 13, 2020:
Due to the increase in the number of cases in Orange County the governor has ordered all inside religious services to close. In light of this, our Ramada will become our new outdoor church with overflow seating in the small parking lot behind the rectory. Thank God it’s summer and we can at least have Masses outside. Our 8 AM Mass will still be where it is currently behind the Family & Youth Center. The Saturday 5 PM,  Sunday 10 AM, noon, and 2 PM Masses, as well as the 8:30 daily Masses will be on the Ramada.
 
Re-Opening Guidelines and Procedures

To ensure the safety of parishioners, volunteers, staff and clergy, it is imperative that the following guidelines and procedures be followed carefully and without exception. If we cannot keep the church safe, we will not be permitted to remain open. 

Social distancing and mask rules apply from the moment you exit your car in the church parking lot until you return to your car. No one will be permitted to enter the church unless he or she is wearing (not simply carrying) a mask. 

Reservations Required!

• All attendees must pre-register for the Mass of their choice via SignUpGenius.
• Ministers at Mass (EMs, Lectors, Ushers & Greeters, Livestream & Technology Team and Cleaning/Sanitizing Crew) should NOT register on the general Mass Sign-Up page. You are either scheduled or signed up on the Ministry Sign Up page.
• Don't forget to enter the number of people in your group when the "Quantity" field pops up. 
• Please do not come to Mass without a reservation, as we would hate to turn you away.
• Pre-registration is NOT required for the 8 AM Sunday Mass on the school field.
• Arrive early to check-in before Mass.

New Mass Schedule

Our Sunday and daily Mass schedules have been modified to allow ample time to sanitize the church between Masses. Please familiarize yourself with our new schedule in the blue box.

Seating & Traffic Flow

• Please follow all signage and instructions from our ushers and greeters.
• Blue tape will indicate where seating is permitted.
• After check-in, enter the church through the center doors.
• All attendees will exit the church through the forward side doors on either side of the sanctuary.

Social (Physical) Distancing Guidelines

• Families that have been sheltering together are allowed to stay together as a group but would need to maintain this six-foot distancing from other families or individuals.
• Masks are to be worn at all times except when actually consuming the Holy Eucharist.

Holy Communion

• Holy Communion (under the species of the Body of Christ) will be distributed after the final blessing.
• All communicants are strongly encouraged to receive the Body of Christ in their hands and NOT on the tongue.
• The priests, deacons and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion will wear a mask while distributing Holy Communion. Those receiving Holy Communion are asked to keep their masks on until you have received communion in your hand. Step off to the side. Lower your mask and receive Holy Communion and raise your mask.
• The center sections of the church will receive communion at the baptismal font, starting from the back of the church.
• The two side sections will receive communion at the front of the church.
• After receiving Holy Communion, please proceed directly to exit the church at the exit nearest to you. 

Confession

• The Sacrament of Reconciliation is available Monday through Friday after the 8:30 AM Mass. 
• Click here for more details about social distancing and the sacrament of Reconciliation.

We Need Your Help!

• Greeters are needed to help people know where they can sit and to limit the capacity of the church
• Cleaning teams are needed to disinfect the church between Masses!
• Additional ushers are needed to help direct people in being able to receive Holy Communion.

We are all in this together. St. Norbert, pray for us!
