Because of the recent relaxation of certain restrictions due to the COVID situation, Bishop Callahan has granted us permission to follow suit. 
1) Holy Water and music books were restored to their previous places. Keep in mind that if you are nervous about germs, we will retain the hand sanitizer stations (and maybe one of the blessings of this past year is a return to good hygiene, i.e. regular washing of our hands).
2) Social distancing is still in place, but we have removed the ribbons on every other pew. Please be conscious of how close you sit to others with whom you might not be in frequent contact (which means you’re encouraged to sit with family or friends).
3) Wearing a mask is highly encouraged for those who are not vaccinated. Because we don’t know who is vaccinated and who is not, we will not be patrolling this in any way. We presume that you know both the recommended safety precautions and the risks for those who do not follow them. Let’s continue to respect that some will want to wear a mask while others will not. The devil loves division, but so far the people of Holy Name have done a solid job of being docile to the things we’ve been asked to do. That has saved a lot of hurt feelings, and for that I thank you.
4) Finally, during quarantine last spring, we worked on creating a lending library for those of you who are looking for a good book to help you grow in your faith. That bookshelf is open and available to you and it can be found in the west entrance. Please help yourself. The only request is that you do not leave any books that have not been approved by the pastor.
Again, thank you for your cooperation.

The Missionaries of Mercy in the USA — a group of priests appointed by Pope Francis, with, among other things, a special mandate as confessors — are requesting Catholics to fill out a brief survey on their experience of the Sacrament of Reconciliation in anticipation of our annual meeting later this year. We would be grateful if you would take a few minutes to fill out this six-question survey.  https://fs3.formsite.com/sunreachholyseemissionorg/confession/index.html
