Church Capacity for Liturgies
Strict physical distancing restrictions will be in place which call for 6 feet between individuals or family units of the same household. Based on our church’s configuration and the distance between pews, seating will be reserved to every other pew. When the church's physically distanced capacity is reached, no additional people may be admitted into the church and people will be directed to the overflow seating in the Parish Life Center.
