St. John Fisher Community:
We received word that after prayerful discernment, Archbishop Sample has approved the plan for the limited reopening of the Holy Mass throughout the Archdiocese of Portland starting May 9^th & 10^th.

• In accordance with Governor Brown’s executive orders, the number of people at a Mass cannot exceed 25. This includes the presider, lector, cantor, videographer and anyone present. We will try to keep this group to a minimum to allow more parishioners to attend.
• The dispensation of the Sunday Mass obligation remains in effect, so no one is required or expected to attend the Holy Mass on the weekends with this reopening.
• Vulnerable, at-risk or other concerned people should remain at home. 
• Face masks are recommended by the CDC, but not required.
  Anyone attending Mass does so at their own risk.
• We will receive the Body of Christ only. Reception in the hand is encouraged.
• Physical distancing (6 feet apart) should continue to be observed.  Seats will be designated in the church to provide this physical distancing and will allow us to sanitize between Masses. There will be spots marked on the carpet for physically distancing in the communion line.
• We will continue to record the Mass and post the videos to the ST JOHN FISHER CHURCH YouTube channel for our at-home viewers.

 
The Mass/Reconciliation schedule is as follows (until further notice):
      Saturday Vigil Mass 4:30pm
      Sunday Masses 9:00am, 11:00am, 5:30pm
      Daily Mass 9:00am Monday – Saturday  
      Reconciliation 3:00-4:00pm (or by appointment) in the cry room
 
Please enter the church using the doors facing the rose garden on the right side of the church.
 
The process to sign up and participate in the Holy Mass at St. John Fisher Parish
Because of both the state requirements and the instructions given by Archbishop Sample, individuals and families who would like to participate in the Holy Mass must take the following steps: 

1. Contact the parish to let us know you would like to attend Mass.
   SIGN UP on our website:  johnfisher.org  or you can email church@johnfisher.org or call the Parish Office 503.244.4945  
2. You will need to provide:
   • first and last name
   • number of family members living together that wish to participate
   • your phone number
   • your preference of Masses (see schedule above)
3. You will be contacted to notify which Mass you were selected to attend. 

No walk-ins are allowed under these guidelines.
Once all on the list have completed one round of participation in the Holy Mass we will repeat the scheduling moving forward until further updates.
