Announcement from Bishop Kenney! Regarding H1N1

Please Read!

In light of the concerns regarding the H1N1 Novel flu virus, Bishop Kinney has issued the following precautions for our diocese, effective immediately:

At the Sign of Peace, a verbal exchange of peace is to be offered rather than a handshake or other contact.
(If it is your parish’s custom) Holding hands during the Lord’s Prayer is to be excluded.
In accordance with the recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health, Communion will be offered to the faithful only under the form of the Host; the common Cup will not be offered until further notice.
Good hygiene is recommended for all. Hand sanitizer and tissues are available near the church entrances. Please cover your coughs and sneezes.
Those who are exhibiting flu-like symptoms (fever over 100 with either cough and/or sore throat) are dispensed from attending the Sunday liturgy and asked to stay home. You may participate in liturgy remotely by viewing a televised Mass. Thank you for your cooperation.
