UPDATED MARCH 18, 2020 1:24 P.M. (CST)

Per CDC guidelines, we are recommending the suspension of all non-essential gatherings for 50 people (federal government is recommending 10 people) or more indefinitely, to be reviewed mid-April. All non-essential events below the 50-person threshold should be suspended at the discretion of the pastor/pastoral leader. Per the CDC Guidance released on March 15th, “events of any size should only be continued if they can be carried out with adherence to guidelines for protecting vulnerable populations, hand hygiene, and social distancing.”

Suspended Gatherings include, but are not limited to:
• Fish Fries
• Bingo
• Prayer Group Gatherings
• Alpha/Small Groups
• Parish Missions • Youth Ministries
• Parish Retreats (TEC, Cursillo, CHRP, Koinonia)
• Communal Adoration/Holy Hours
• Support Groups (Grief Groups, 12-Step Groups, etc.)
• Stations of the Cross
