SERVERS FOR August 2021
 

Because it is important to insure the safety of all those that attend Mass, starting the weekend of June 5th and 6th we have decided to take certain safety precautions to prevent an active shooter. The ushers will begin to lock the doors approximately 10 minutes after Mass has begun. If you are running late, please be assured that one of the ushers will gladly let you in. We appreciate your understanding as we continue to focus on your safety. This has come to fruition through the combined efforts of the Usher Ministry and the Pastoral Council. Should you have any questions, please call the parish office.
We have had an excellent response to this new protocol.  We had a couple of questions that I would like to take this opportunity to answer.
1.) Have we started this becasue we had an incident?    ANSWER: No. The usher ministry and the pastoral council had discussed taking these steps with Father Gerald.  We have a new head usher and the pastoral council really felt that with all that is going on, we wanted to take measures to prevent anything from happening.  We just never want to be put in a position where we say to ourselves, “if only we had done something to prevent this.” Unfortunately we (all churches no matter what denomination) can no longer say that it could never happen here.
2.) If the doors are locked, can I still get out?  ANSWER: Yes. By law we can not lock doors that would prevent people from vacating the premises.  
3.) If I have to leave to get something from my car, after the doors are locked, is that permissable?  ANSWER:  Yes.  Just inform a usher that you need to go to your vehicle and they will stand by the door to let you in.
