Ushers will seat attendees on a first come, first serve basis starting in the sanctuary and then moving to the gathering space when the sanctuary has reached capacity. Please arrive at least 20-25 minutes early to make sure we are able to check everyone in before Mass is scheduled to begin. Late arrivals might not be admitted into the church after Mass begins. School Gym Overflow Seating: These reservations are for the Saint Michael Parish School Gym only. Ushers will seat attendees on a first come first serve basis from the front to the back. The service will be livestreamed on projector screens and the Eucharist will be distributed in the Gym during Mass as normal. Limited overflow seating will be available for walk-up guests in addition to the reservations. If you do not have a reservation but wish to attend Mass, you are welcome to come and celebrate in the gym as long as we have not reached capacity for that space. If capacity has been reached, we invite you to join us from the comfort of your homes via one of our several livestreams on YouTube linked below. (NOTE: Gym overflow seating is available for the Christmas Eve 5 pm and Christmas Day 9:30 am Masses ONLY. There is NO overflow seating for the other services.) While the obligation to attend Sunday Mass is still suspended in charity toward those who are most vulnerable during this COVID-19 pandemic, Saint Michael Parish is offering limited-attendance public Masses. In this newly declared year of the Eucharist, we seek to be responsive in allowing – with strict safety measures – as much access as possible to the Most Holy Mass. Join us in person for the Christmas Eve Mass (Thursday 5:00pm) at our Downtown Church. Use this Eventbrite link to RSVP for Mass. Attendance is limited (to prevent the spread of COVID-19), and therefore seats are taken by reservation using this platform.
