Welcome back, St. Joseph parishioners!

Public Mass Schedule: Saturday 4 pm and Sunday 10 am.  (Masks Required)

(Livestream Sunday Mass 10 am: on Facebook)

There are a few things to be mindful of as we reopen the church for services:

Bishop Daly has been very clear that the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains in place until further notice. This means that although Sunday Mass is available once again, the dispensation remains for all Catholics throughout the diocese. If you do not attend Sunday Mass, it is not a sin. The bishop asks that all vulnerable, at risk persons remain at home. Anyone who has even the slightest symptoms or feelings of sickness must remain at home.

IMPORTANT:
Before you leave the house to come to church for Mass, please take a second and write down your name(s) and the date & time of the Mass on an index card or small slip of paper. There will be a basket at the entrances where you can drop that information. It's important that we have this information in case we need to contact you about possible exposure to the virus. Thank you for your understanding!

• There is limited occupancy allowed: We can only fill the church to 50 people or less in order to accommodate the requirements for social distancing.
• Please remember to keep at least a 6 foot distance at all times between you/your household group and another person or household group.
• Please do not congregate before or after Mass - either in the building or even in the parking lot. We know it is a real temptation since we have been apart for so long, but please adhere to these rules. The best way to show your fellow parishioners that you care about them is by keeping your distance!

Wearing FACE MASKS is REQUIRED *

* At the direction of Bishop Daly in accordance with public health proclamations from the State of Washington.

There will be hand sanitizer available at all the entrances. Please use a tissue to push down on the dispenser and then dispose of the tissue. Do not pick up the sanitizer bottle. Thank you!

A few things will be different for a while: no hymnals, no holy water, no singing, no Sign of Peace, no passing of the offertory collection baskets.

There will be a basket at the doors of the sanctuary where you can deposit your offertory contribution (same basket where you placed your contact information). Thank you.

We are so happy to finally be able to celebrate the Eucharist as a faith community once again!
