COVID-19 Safety Procedures

October 2022 Update

COVID-19 Safety Procedures

This guidance is aligned with the newest Mass State guidelines

The St. John’s COVID committee’s mission continues to be the concern for the safety of all parishioners in attendance at church. Thankfully, both the Delta and Omicron surges are largely behind us. While we cannot predict when or if there will be another surge, the current levels of circulating virus in the area have allowed us to roll back some of the COVID safety measures for the time being. Any updates will be posted in the weekly bulletin and/or emailed to all parishioners.

We ask everyone to self-monitor their own health condition, as well as their own close contact with others who have the virus, before attending church services. Please use the guidance at COVID-19 Isolation and Exposure Guidance for the General Public | Mass.gov to guide your good judgment.

Services at St. John of Damascus will be live-streamed whenever possible.  You can watch the live services at: stjohnd.org/live

Let us all continue to pray for those throughout the world and country battling this virus; as well as for the families who have lost loved ones.

As always, please reach out to Fr. John with questions or concerns.

With much love in the Lord,

The COVID Committee
