Dear Parishioners of Knocklyon, 

 

Returning to public celebration of Mass

1. Mass resumes at 10am on Tuesday 1^st of December. So, from Tuesday 1^st of December mass will be celebrated at 10am in the church. And this will be our weekday schedule for mass - Monday to Saturday 10am mass only. At present there will be no evening mass during the week. Over the weekend - beginning with Saturday the 5^th of December we will have a 7pm evening mass, and on Sundays beginning with the 6^th of December we will have three masses: 9am,10am and 12 noon.
2. The Church is divided into two pods and each pod can hold 50 people at each time so please consider a weekday, to come to mass. And please use the separate entrance and exist dedicated to each pod, and please don’t cross over from side of the church to the other during mass, before mass or at the end of mass. Pod one will be on the Supervalu side, so people come in through the Supervalu door and stay in that pod all through the mass and exit through Supervalu side. The second pod can be entered through the main door or the presbytery door. So if you stay in one or the other section before, after or during the mass that will help us greatly.
3. Please note that the obligation to attend mass on Sundays and holidays is dispensed during this time.
4. The 10am mass every day will continue to be available on the link on our Parish website as usual. So, we will encourage as many of you to continue to attend mass online.
5. As you come to church do your best not to block the doors entering and leaving the church.
6. Do your best to respect physical distancing. Please keep a safe distance (2 metres) from one another when, entering the church, sitting, approaching for holy communion, and leaving the church. Two meters equals to 4 empty seats, between households there has to be at least 4 empty seats in the church. When you come into the church, those who come a little bit early, if they would try to take seats that are closer to the wall or closer inside the benches, so that those who are coming late wouldn’t have a problem finding a place to sit.
7. Please use the hand sanitisers available on entry and exiting the church.
8. Both the framework Document and the HSE instructions affirm clearly that face masks should be worn by all in the church. 
9. Please follow floor and seat markings.
10. Communion will ONLY be given on the hand.
11. Please leave patiently and promptly after Mass.
12. Try to keep the lighting of candles at shrines to private visits to our Church when it is open at times other than for Mass. Remember that hand sanitiser can be flammable, so ensure your hands are completely dry before lighting candles.
13. To minimize physical contact with furniture we encourage you to either sit or stand during the celebration of Mass and avoid kneeling dawn for the time being.
14. Please make your donations to the collection on your way into the church or alternatively use the envelops at the back of the church or the Donate button on our parish Website knocklyonparish.ie . For any of you finding it difficult to use the donate button on the website we have organized a donation help button close to the donate button which will take you through the process.
15. The Parish office is open as normal.
16. We have committees in place, and we are planning to accomplish this return to church and comply with all the regulations with regard to public health and safety.

We pray for all who are sick in our Parish and we remember all who have died during the lockdown and the bereaved. Thank you for your understanding and for all your support at this difficult time.
