To all in our St. Mark Community, the restrictions placed upon us by the pandemic have been extended in our state.  The diocese is committed to keeping people safe by following the guidelines of the CDC and protecting those around us.  Bishop Boyea has decided to allow weekday Mass publicly in the churches starting the week of May18 ^th through May 29th.  But, those present cannot surpass 5% of the capacity of our church which would allow for no more than 20 persons.  Therefore we will allow for attendance but it will be by SIGNUP ONLY and you may only sign up for 1 Mass during that 2 week span to allow for as many to attend as possible.  Please, we ask you to be patient and to understand as we find ourselves trying to do the best we can do.  We anticipate Public Masses to begin the week of June 1 ^st at a 25% capacity.  We will communicate further at that point our plan.  Those seeking to be in attendance for weekday Masses  May 18 ^th through May 29 ^th will follow these procedures:
 
1.     To signup go to:
        https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0F4CAFAE2CA6FE3-stmark
2.     Make certain you do not have any symptoms of sickness before attending.
3.     Wash hands prior to attending.
4.     Hand Sanitizer will be at each entrance. Please use upon arrival.
5.     Bring your own masks or face coverings as this WILL BE A REQUIREMENT.
6.     Follow the seating directions established in the church.  Maintain CDC Social                Distancing Guidelines (6 Feet apart unless from the same household).
7.     Follow the directions for distribution of Holy Communion.
8.     Please refrain from using the restrooms unless it is unavoidable.

We have added a weekday Mass, so our weekday Mass schedule will now be as follows:   MONDAY 9:30AM, TUESDAY 6:30PM AND FRIDAY 8:30AM.  We will continue to LIVE STREAM Tuesday 6:30pm, Friday 8:30am and Sunday 9:30am (with drive through communion 10:45am-11:15am Sunday Only.)   Also, Fr. Dave and I will continue to have our weekly Faith Chats on Mondays and Thursdays at 7 pm, as well as, I will continue Men's Fellowship Saturdays at 8am and Soul Surfing for kids at 11:45am on Sundays.  Please continue to pray and trust that God will guide us through this time of continued uncertainty.  If you have any concerns please feel free to contact me.  Walk the talk. Be Peace! D-Ron  ( rkenney@stmarkgoodrich.org)
