Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You.-

Church Reopening Guidelines
It is with an abundance of joy and gratitude that Bishop Christopher Coyne has announced the first phase of the reopening of our churches to celebrate daily Mass beginning June 1 and Weekend mass June 6/7 using the previous schedule. The obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains lifted until further notice, especially if you are part of a vulnerable population and/or have an underlying health condition.
Please approach the celebration of Mass with charity and love for our clergy and faith community by following the protocols:- Stay home if you are sick or not feeling well
- Wear a mask in Mass.
- Sanitize your hands upon entry.
- (Due to a shortage of sanitizer, please bring your own if possible).
- Sit in designated pews and respect social distance between others of 6 feet or more unless you are one family unit.
- Refrain from congregating in tight areas or entering cordoned off areas.
- Follow the protocols to receive Holy Communion as directed at Mass.
- Follow our church protocols regarding registration due to the 25% capacity limit.
At Sacred Heart St. Francis de Sales this means no more than 100 people at any Mass and at St. John the Baptist the limit is 70 people per Mass.
