UPDATE 5-14-2021

In light of the new CDC mask guidelines and in line with the most recent directive from our Archdiocese, our pastor, in consultation with the parish leadership team, has decided that our current protocols will not change: Masks are still required for everyone in our buildings.

WHAT WE’RE DOING TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE AT ST. ANDREW
The church continues to be sanitized between every Liturgy, including the pews, door handles, push plates, and restrooms. 
• To ensure social distancing, occupancy continues to be limited to 25% of the church’s capacity.
• Families residing together must arrive together and sit together. Different households are separated by 6 ft.
