AM I CONTAGIOUS?

When you know you have an illness that is easily spread to other people, please reconsider attending Mass, especially when there may be people in that gathering who are not sick now, but whose health is fragile and who can easily fall seriously ill from someone else’s minor cold. If you really must go, there are precautions you can take to protect others. Wear a mask and sit at the end of a pew, on the opposite side of the centre aisle. You will be much less noticeable if you have to slip outside to cough than if you sit in the middle of a pew or near the centre aisle. And when you can’t attend?? You can still read the readings for the day. This will help you stay connected to the Mass and the message.
