• When registering to attend Mass, you will be asked to note how many adults and children are in your party. You will also be asked to indicate if you need special accommodation.
• Please do not attend Mass if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms: dry cough, fever, sore throat, shortness of breath, and/or loss of taste and smell, or have potentially been exposed to someone with confirmed or suspected COVID-19.  A potential exposure means having household contact or having close contact (within 6 feet) with an individual with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 for a prolonged period of time (over 10 minutes) while the person is symptomatic or in the 48 hours before symptoms developed.
• Please plan on arriving early since entrance will be a supervised event. After confirming you have signed up to attend Mass and answering questions relative to your health, ushers will direct you to your assigned seat.
• You will be asked to confirm that you have not had any of the symptoms of potential COVID-19 and have not potentially been exposed to someone with confirmed, active, or suspected COVID-19 before entering the church.
• You must wear a mask at all times. Masks must always cover your nose and mouth.
• No food, drink, or water bottles will be allowed in church.
• Please enter Saint Denis church through the center front door. You will exit via the side doors.  Persons with physical challenges may enter and exit through the ramp entrance.
• Please consider using the provided hand sanitizers upon entering and leaving St. Denis.
• Social distancing of at least six feet must be observed at all times, including entering and exiting the church and when receiving communion.
• There will be no processions, altar services, choir, congregational singing, or hymnals in the bench.
• There will be no collection. Financial support may be placed in a basket, mailed to the rectory, or submitted electronically.
• Communion will be offered after the final blessing. Please make a single file line to receive communion while maintaining social distancing.  Following receipt of the Eucharist, you will file out of church via one of the side doors.  There cannot be any congregating following Mass.
• There is no obligation to attend Mass physically in the church. You can decide when you believe it is safe and comfortable to resume your participation at Saint Denis.
• Eucharist will continue via Zoom every Sunday.
• If St. Denis Church learns that an attendee has tested positive for COVID-19, the Westwood Board of Health will be notified and we will assist the Board as reasonably requested to trace likely contacts and advise contacts to isolate and self-quarantine.
