St. Pius X Catholic Parish 

****You no longer need to sign-up for any Masses (including the 10:30AM Mass) until further notice! Masses are still limited to 200 people.****

Now that the City of New Orleans has entered into Phase 2 of our reopening during this pandemic, the following guidelines for attending Mass at St. Pius X are in place:

1. Mass will be limited to 200 people.  Although we would be allowed to have up to 250, I believe that 200 is a better number for us in order to maintain the appropriate social distancing given the configuration of our church seating.  We will place extra chairs in church to allow people to spread out as much as possible. Please be considerate in choosing your seat in church to allow for six feet between households.
2. At this time, the only Mass that will be necessary to sign up for will be the 10:30 am Mass on Sunday.  Given the number of people who desire to attend this Mass, I believe the sign up is helpful.  Should the other Masses approach 200 we might have to include them in the sign up as well.
3. Everyone who attends Mass (except small children) must wear a mask.  Remember, wearing a mask is more about protecting our neighbor than ourselves, so this is an act of charity toward our neighbor.
4. Please make use of the hand sanitizer located near the church entrances. 
5. I will be contacting separately Communion Ministers, Lectors and Altar Servers about resuming a schedule of service.

Thank you for your patience.  Let us continue to pray for everyone affected by the pandemic and for those working tirelessly to help others during this time.
Peace.
Fr. Pat
