Fr. Ken and the parish staff continue to discuss the safety and health procedures that will be in place as we resume public Masses at St. Mary. Several aspects are being fine tuned. Referencing the Archdiocese of Cincinnati guidelines and considering our physical space, we continue to tweak our procedures. Thank you for your patience as we navigate this new way of worship together!

† Church capacity

• 110 people in the nave of church
• 10 people in the balcony
• 30 people in Robisch Hall for streamed services
• These #’s are the maximum at this time. There will be only 1 family per pew so the actual # of people possible in church could be smaller. Only 22 pews will be open in the nave.
• The Front door on Erie Avenue will be the only door available to enter from. This is a change to our initial plan.
• Ushers will help track the number of people who enter.
• Please arrive early for Mass.
• Once inside church you will find the pews strategically roped off to provide for proper social distancing
• For heavier attended Sunday Mass, please follow the direction of ushers. Thank you.
• Only the Body of Christ will be offered at Communion.
• The Church will be thoroughly cleaned after every Mass.
• Face coverings are highly recommended per the AOC guidelines. 

The Catholic faithful who reside in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati continue to be dispensed from the obligation of attending Sunday Mass. You might consider attending a less crowded weekday Mass to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion. We will continue to LIVE stream our Sunday 10:00 AM Mass. We encourage those with underlying health issues to enjoy our Sunday Live streamed Mass.
