The dispensation from the requirement to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation remains in effect
in the Diocese of St. Augustine.
Inside the Church
The door you enter will determine the place in the Cathedral that you are able to be seated. This door will also be the door through which you will exit.
In general, single people and couples (families of only two) should plan to enter the main doors of the Cathedral; families of 3 or more should enter the east or west transept doors.
P.N. – Doors will be locked once Mass has begun in order to ensure safety of those inside.
Physical distancing will be required. Seating has been identified in the pews to maintain the “social distance” standard as set by the Centers for Disease Control.
Immediate family members may be seated next to each other in one pew.
Aisles have been marked to determine traffic flow through the church. As well, lines have been placed to indicate spacing between yourself and the person in front of you particularly for the distribution of Holy Communion.
Face masks or other suitable face coverings are required. These are to be worn except when receiving Holy Communion.
The norms for receiving Holy Communion as provided by the Most Reverend Felipe Estévez, Bishop of St. Augustine, remain in force, specifically:
Holy Communion will only be distributed in the hand. (P.N. – If you are wearing gloves, these must be removed before reception of Communion.)
The reception of the Precious Blood is suspended.
VERY IMPORTANT
Because of very limited seating, capacity is limited. Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Once available seats have been filled, no one else will be permitted to enter.
Standing in the aisles and other areas of the church is prohibited.
