Thanks for your understanding.Also, if the event is sold out, there will be overflow seating that we will utilize in the Multi Purpose Center. You can also listen or live stream in your car. In both instances you will be allowed to come into the lobby at Communion Time to receive Holy Communion.Important Considerations: By order of the State of Kansas, effective July 3rd, 2020, all individuals attending gatherings at public venues and businesses are required to wear a protective face mask. There are many criteria laid out to determine if a business is required to mandate this, and SHoJ and its operation clearly fall within them. This means everyone is required to wear a mask while attending Mass at SHoJ. There are some exemptions that may apply to Sacred Heart Mass goers, for example, ligitamate health reasons such as clinically diagnosed PTSD, Claustrophobia, etc.• Each person must bring their own mask.• each person must sanitize their hands upon entering the facility;• each person is asked to use the restroom at home prior to attending Mass;• each person will be seated by an usher with a six-foot distance between families;• each person is asked to stay in their seat once they have been seated by an Usher;• we ask that no one stand or congregate in the hallways or Narthex during Mass, but remain seated;• The cry-room will be closed at this time (with the exception of the one family that reserves it)you need to take your child out of the worship area, go into the Narthex (Lobby) or use the hallways;• If you receive Communion in the hand, please create a cup with their hands so that the Host can be gently dropped on the hand. In addition, you will need to keep your mask on until the Minister puts the host in your hand. At that time, turn away from the minister and walk several feet away heading back to your seat, pause, and with your one free hand, gently lift your mask and then put the host in your mouth with your other hand.• If a person desires to receive on the tongue, they are asked to only come to the Communion line with the Priest. Once you are several people behind the individual receiving communion, pull your mask down and the Priest will distribute Holy Communion to you. The Priest will then wash his hands after every distribution where the person receives on the tongue;• each family is asked to go directly to their cars once celebrant dismisses the community;
