Join Us for Daily Mass
Dear Members of Saint Katharine Drexel Church,
With the health of our Parishioners in mind, we are now comfortable to reopen our Masses to the public on a limited basis with a specific protocol. With that being said, there will be several alterations to our regular Mass gatherings. You can find out more about these alterations and new protocols below. Please check back frequently as information is subject to change.
Mass Sign-Up and Size Restrictions
We will only be allowing 60 individuals in the worship space, and 15 individuals in the overflow space in the Hospitality room.
The dispensation from Sunday Mass by Archbishop Hebda remains in effect.
If you are over the age of 65, at risk, or residing with someone at risk, you are welcome to attend Mass, but we encourage you to be cautious, and use your own discretion.
You MUST sign up each member of your family ahead of time individually via the link provided on our parish website, Facebook page, weekly email, or stop by the Parish office during the week and a staff member will assist you with registering for Mass. You can email Troy if you have questions or need assistance: tbauer@stkdcc.org 763-843-6454
If all 60 spots in the worship space and all 15 spots in the overflow space are assigned, you can add yourself and your family to the waiting list. If an individual or family can no longer attend and removes themselves from their scheduled Mass time, you may be contacted and added to the current list for that weekend.
If you are on the waiting list and unable to be moved to the current list of attendees for any given weekend, you will be given priority registration for the following weekend
After you have successfully registered yourself and/or your family for Mass, please arrive to the Church before 9:45am.
Please wash/sanitize your hands, and use the restroom before arriving for Mass.
Please do not come if you are displaying symptoms or living with someone that is displaying any symptoms of any illness.
Parishioners may only enter through the main front doors of the Parish.
Liturgical Ministers and Choir member should enter through the back doors of the Church and receive further instruction prior to their scheduled ministry date.
Upon entering the Church doors, you will be directed to a table where you will check-in yourself and/or your family with a staff member and pick up your pre-printed nametag.
Masks WILL be required to participate. If you do not have a mask, or forget to bring one, we will have masks on site for you to grab at the check-in table.
There will be a hand sanitizer station after your check-in you will use prior to entering the worship space doors.
As you enter the worship space please follow the direction of our usher teams.
Seating should start at the front of the worship space, each side working from the front to the back.
There will be a four chair gap (6ft) between each individual/family.
We will NOT be taking up a collection during the liturgy. There will be a collection basket you can drop of your contributions into located inside the worship space doors.
We have installed large projection screens above the half wall space both to the left and right side of the Altar.
This removes the need for continual usage of worship aids and hymnals and the potential spreading of germs.
Masks are to be worn at all times, including while singing. Therefore, music selection may include less congregational responses than normal.
The choir will have masks on at all times except for when leading in song. They will be socially distanced from one another, and the congregation.
Communion WILL be distributed during the Mass. Attendees will remain in their seats, and the Eucharistic Ministers will distribute to them in their row.
Ushers/greeters will spray the hands of each person, before they receive Communion.
The Eucharistic Minister will have a mask on.
You will keep your mask on while you receive by hand and say “Amen”. When the Eucharistic minister moves onn to the neext person, slide down you mask, and consume the Eucharist.
Once all from the worship space have received the Eucharist, those watching Mass from the overflow room in Hospitality space will enter the worship space through the side door and proceed to the Eucharistic Ministers to receive Communion.
We will have a gluten-intolerant Eucharistic Minister Station near the Baptismal font which is now to the right side of the sanctuary as you face the altar.
All chairs, bathrooms, doors, etc. will be sanitized after each Mass.
We will have daily Mass Wednesday-Friday at 9:30 am.
Up to 60 people can sign-up for each daily Mass with sign up link posted on the Parish website.
If you are unable or uncomfortable attending Mass, we will continue to stream the 10am Sunday Mass live to our website and YouTube page.
The chairs, door handles, Ambo, bathrooms, Choir area, etc. will all be sanitized after each Mass.
We will need teams of 3-4 to help with this cleaning process after Mass
Cloth Masks from Church may be brought home by the wearer and kept. Bring it back with you the following week!
Lastly, we respectfully request that you not congregate and socialize in groups outside the Church or in the parking lot. We look forward to a normal Hospitality and community gathering in the future.
