ALL MASSES ARE LIVE STREAM
 
The celebration of Mass at St Bridget Catholic Church resumes inside the Church . This will be done while ensuring social distancing. As we resume gathering, it is important to note that the Corona Virus is still in our midst, and as such one can still contract or transmit it. In order to prevent the contraction and/or transmission of the virus, the following guidelines have been put in place for our Liturgical celebrations:

Mass Schedule:
Daily Mass Monday-Friday
8:00 am
Saturday Vigil 
4 pm
Sunday Mass
8:30 am & 10:30 am 
 
Confessions
Confessions will take place  in the side/bell tower Chapel.

• MON-FRI: 7:30 am to 7:55 am                                                                            
• SATURDAY: 3:00 pm to 3:50 pm
• SUNDAY: 7:30 am to 7:55 am and  10:00 am to 10:25 am    

 
Face Masks
All must wear face masks as they enter the Church and for the duration of the Liturgy.
 
Entry
All are required to enter only through the main entrance on Highway 24 and follow the guidelines of social distancing. If you have special needs, you are encouraged to call the Parish Office ahead of time (985-446-6801). 
 
Social Distancing
To ensure social distancing, some pews will not be used. All who come to Mass on a weekday or weekend will, therefore, sit in appropriate and designated pews that are marked with a cross.   Family members who live in the same house together may be  seated together in a group. They are therefore encouraged to arrive at the same time. Each group, couple, or individual must be seated six feet away in all directions from the next closest group, couple, or individual.
 
Arrival
In order to allow for orderly seating, please plan to begin arriving 30 minutes before the beginning of the Mass. Hospitality ministers will welcome you and be there to guide you and answer any questions or concerns you may have.
 
Holy Communion 
All will remain in their pews and the clergy will walk around to bring Holy Communion or to offer a blessing. To receive Holy Communion, individuals will remove the face masks and place them back soon after.
 
Offertory Collection
There will be Stationary Collection Baskets for the offertory. The offertory envelopes or cash may be placed in any of these baskets as you come in, or as you leave. Please be cautious to maintain the six-foot distance as you do this.
 
Departure
Please be cautious to maintain the six-foot distance as you  depart pew by pew. As there should be no physical contact between individuals not living in the same household. Please resist the temptation to socialize closely or to linger after the Mass. When Mass is completed please make your way to your vehicle and return home.
 
Dispensation 
All are reminded that the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sunday  is still in effect as such if you cannot or chose not to attend Sunday Mass you will not be sinning.

As we continue to be careful and not fearful we should not put ourselves or others at risk. Therefore, if you are sick/unwell, immunodeficient, or care for someone who is sick, it is strongly encouraged that you do not attend these Masses but rather participate through live-stream or participate in one of the several Masses offered on TV.
​
                                                       Please spread and share this information with your family and friends.

 

Adoration Chapel, as well as the Church, will be open for personal/private prayer.
