Coronavirus Restrictions Update
The Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe on July 1, released a periodic communication regarding Coronavirus restrictions. The full communication can be read by clicking here.
In summary:
Communion is to be received in the hand only.
Mass remains at 25% capacity in the church with no congregational singing and no choir.
No groups (prayer, study) over 5 persons and attending persons should be masked and socially-distanced. Exceptions are Mass and blood drives - each at only 25% capacity under the same preventive restrictions.
Anointing of the sick should be delayed unless serious danger of death exists. Last rites for non-COVID patients can be celebrated, but minimize the time spent so as to minimize the possibility of cross-infection.
Graveside services may be held as long as no more than 10 persons at a time--masked and socially-distanced--are at the grave at one time.
Communicants recieve the Eucharist in the hand with a mask on, move aside several feet away from others, bring mask down and consume.
Those receiving Holy Communion should offer private prayers of thanksgiving afterwards--outdoors, in their vehicles, when they arrive home, etc.
Fiestas are to be minimized this year. No food sales, large transfers of materials (auction tickets, etc.) or group gatherings.
Clergy/staff are encouraged to be tested for COVID-19 regularly
