El obispo Walkowiak ha extendido la dispensa para todos los católicos del territorio de la Diócesis de Grand Rapid de la obligación de atender la misa dominical hasta el 7 de septiembre, Día del Trabajo (Labor Day).

• ​​​​​You do not need to sign-up to attend Mass.  When we reach maximum capacity, (75 people) nobody else will be let in.  
• Masses are only taking place at the Hart Campus (St. Gregory Church) for the time being.  4:00pm Confessions and 5:00pm Vigil Mass is at the Hart Campus (St. Gregory).
• At Mass, please observe social distancing.  At least 6ft between each household.
• FACEMASKS ARE REQUIRED for all over 2yrs old.  Please honor this request.  (I understand it will be difficult with children, please try your best)
• For Reception of Holy Communion, please form a single-file line in the outside aisles, keeping 6ft between households.  Please wait until after you have recieved the Host and stepped to the side to remove your mask to consume or until after you have said "Amen" if you recieve on the tongue.
• Volunteers are needed to help clean and sanitize after each mass.  A sign-up is on the Sacristy door.  We have all of the supplies needed.
• The Reader schedule is being used again.  If you are scheduled and not able to read, please find a sub as always.  

I apologize if anything was missed on this list.  These are crazy times.  Thank you for your prayers and support and know that you are certainly in my daily prayers.
In Christ, Fr. Dan
