IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ:
*Weekday Masses resume June 8, 2020*
As of Monday, June 8, 2020, parishes of the Archdiocese of Hartford can reopen for the public celebration of weekday Masses ONLY.
MASS SCHEDULE FOR ST. FRANCIS DE SALES: (starting Monday, June 8, 2020)
Mondays: 8 am @ St. Anthony Church
Tuesdays: 8 am @ St. Ann Church
Thursdays: No Masses
Wednesdays: 7 pm @ St. Anthony Church
Fridays: 7 pm @ St. Ann Church
*By alternating the days of Masses being held between the two churches, this gives extra time for each Church to be safely cleaned between each Mass. There will be hand sanitizing stations provided around the Church. Parishioners are encouraged to bring their own if they can because of the shortage of hand sanitizers.
- Who can come—In this first stage of resuming public worship, no more than 25% of church capacity, in keeping with the limitation currently set by the civil authorities, may be present at a given Mass.
- Who shouldn’t come—The elderly, those with pre-existing conditions, those who are fearful or anxious, and those who are taking care of a sick or home bound person need not be concerned if they miss Mass as the dispensation from the Sunday obligation has now been extended.
- What to Bring—Unless exempt, those attend Mass are required to wear masks or face coverings and are asked to bring hand sanitizer for use during the liturgy.
- Social Distancing—Those attending Mass are required to keep proper social distancing while in the church. This will require everyone to remain 6 feet apart from anyone who is not a member of their household.
