Missalettes will not be in the pews during this period. You are welcome to bring your own missal/readings with you. We will be displaying the text of the hymns on the projector screen.

When taking your seat, please honor all posted signs about where you may sit. Every other pew will be open to ensure proper social distancing. 

Members of the same household may sit together as normal. Please place 6 feet between your household and members of a different household. 

A collection will be taken up during the Offertory, as usual, using long-handled baskets.

During the Yellow Phase, the faithful are asked to receive Holy Communion in the hand.

Those who would like to receive Holy Communion on the tongue may do so by approaching the tabernacle in the Main Church.

Please maintain social distancing in the Communion line. Please keep several pews between yourself and the person in front of you while in line and when returning to your pew.

Please remove your mask before receiving Holy Communion. 

At the conclusion of Mass, please exit the Church and proceed directly to your car. Please do not congregate for any reason. 

Please leave your mask on until you exit the Church. 

The National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa will follow the guidelines from the CDC for sanitation as we resume public Masses.
