Parishioner Guidelines for the Distribution of Holy Communion Outside the Mass during the Coronavirus Pandemic

1. It is important to remember no Catholic is required to receive Holy Communion during the pandemic.  Permission is for those who desire to receive Holy Communion and can safely do so.  Those age 65+ and those with compromised immunity are encouraged to stay home.
2. In Christian Charity, anyone with a fever, cough, or flu-like symptoms should remain at home so as to prevent further spread of the illness.  Those wishing to receive the Blessed Sacrament will have their temperature taken to ensure they are not running a fever, and all are required to wear a protective mask, observe social distancing, and practice proper hand washing hygiene. 
3. Prior to receiving Holy Communion, communicants are strongly encouraged to watch an online Mass, listen to a radio Mass, listen to a radio Mass, or read the Scripture readings of the day as preparation to receive Holy Communion. 
4. Only the Precious Body will be distributed.  Low-gluten hosts will be available for those persons in need. 
5. Communion will only be given in the hand and not on the tongue. 
6. Communicants are expected to wear masks which may be removed or adjusted for the reception of Holy Communion.  The priest or other minister will be behind a Plexiglas screen.  Hand hygiene is effective against the coronavirus, and therefore, gloves shall not be worn. 
7. You may NOT stop or stay in the church prior to or after receiving Holy Communion.  You should exit the church immediately after receiving Holy Communion.  You should not linger or socialize in the parking lot, but go immediately to your vehicle.  Personal prayer may take place in your cars or at home.
