COVID-19 UPDATE:
_______________________________________________________________________________
On this Solemnity of All the Saints, I thought that I would post a little reminder about gathering for Mass at St Andre Bessette Church.
While much progress has been made in fighting the pandemic, the reality is that we are still in a pandemic, and so we are still following the guidelines put forth by the CDC, the State of Oregon, and the Archdiocese of Portland.
Social Spacing - For the time being, the pews are still marked off to reflect proper spacing. We ask that only people who live together (the whole "bubble" thing still) sit together in the pews. It is encouraged that you NOT sit in the same pew with people with whom you do not live.
Still no Holy Water in the font
Still no Precious Blood shared
Music - Hymnals are once again in the pews and we do have music and singing at our weekend liturgies.
Please be early or at LEAST ON TIME (like...5 minutes before the hour!). Once the Mass begins, there will be no one at the doors to let you in.
VISITORS - WELCOME!!!!!!!! If you could, please call the church (503-228-0746) to let us know that you plan to attend the Mass. This will allow us to be on the lookout for you!! We are on the corner of NW 6th Ave and W. Burnside Street...and while the big green and yellow building does not look like a traditional church, there is a LOT of church that happens within these walls!!
Let us all continue to pray for an end to this global pandemic EVERYWHERE!
God Bless,
Fr. Tom Gaughan, csc
Pastor
