Dear St. Agnes Family,
Our Mass schedules are adjusted based on county health rules and Mass attendance. We currently have daily indoor Masses at 8 AM. (live- stream). Our indoor Masses are restricted to the first 130 people due to the current seating arrangement and the need for continued social distancing.
For the weekend, our Saturday vigil service will be at 5 PM and will be indoors. On Sunday we will now have three Masses: 7:00 AM and 8:30 AM (indoors and live-stream), and 10AM (outdoors and live-stream). Please bring your own chairs if you are coming to the outdoor Mass.
Please take a minute and review these safety protocols for our indoor Masses:

1. No public singing.
2. No kneeling during the Mass.
3. No shaking of hands during the Sign of Peace or holding hands at the Lord’s Prayer.
4. For the indoor Masses, Holy Communion will be distributed at the conclusion of the Mass.
5. Masks are to be kept on until you receive the Body of Christ and put them back after you consume the Eucharist.
We realize these temporary changes may be difficult, but we ask for your cooperation in a spirit of charity, and flexibility .
Once again, thank you for your prayers and cooperation!
