Description

Please do not register for this space until the main sanctuary is full. This is for seats in the Gathering Space and Gym. To quote Bishop Walkowiak, "A person truly participates at Mass when he or she is physically present in a congregation celebrating the sacred action at the ambo and altar in the presence of the priest. When a church is at seating capacity, an area wholly separated from the church may be prepared so that people can follow what is going on in the church via a livestream or closed circuit TV. While such a provision affords an opportunity for people to unite themselves spiritually to the Mass being viewed, it cannot be considered an equivalent for truly participating at Mass." In other words, joining us in the overflow is better than staying home, but not equivalent to being in the main body of the church.
