Updated Mask Policy

BySt Mary Anne Admin

Masks are now optional for those who are fully vaccinated. We are following our Cecil County and Maryland COVID guidelines, along with the CDC.

Please be aware that a large percentage of our congregation is vaccinated so many chose not to wear a mask during services.

We continue to remain cautious and require all those without vaccinations to wear a mask at our services and activities. Mask wearing is also suggested for the immunocompromised, but that remains a personal decision.

We also remind parishioners that we have hand sanitizers in visible locations, a HVAC air purification system in place, and do not share the chalice during the Eucharist. These strategies gave our parish a safe worship experience this past year.
