As more people return to weekend Mass and as the weather gets colder, it will become more important to sign up, either online or by calling the rectory by noon on Fridays. Those who come to Mass without signing up can create a long line behind them as their name and phone number are written down by the greeter, causing their fellow parishioners to stand out in the cold, or even in the rain—and eventually, the snow. And if we begin to reach our current maximum capacity of 135 at each weekend Mass, those who have not signed up might be asked to leave, which would be unfortunate but necessary. You’ll be informed if any of these requirements change in the future.
Each person must be registered separately (not just the number wishing to attend).
