Covid Safety Measures

COVID Precautions
First, we urge you and your family to get vaccinated and boostered if you have not done so yet. While breakthrough cases can and do occur, we know they are much less likely to progress to severe illness in the vaccinated. As Pope Francis said last year, getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is an act of love.
 
Second, we suggest all parishioners upgrade their masks to Kn95 or N95 respirators if worshiping in person. These masks are much more protective than cloth or surgical masks. 
 
Third, please stay home if you are feeling sick.
 
As Christians, we must take care of the Body of Christ that is the Lumen Christi community. Through vaccination, proper mask use, and cautious care, we will be able to once again weather the current storm the pandemic has brought us.
