Coronavirus Update #6

Published: 08 July 2020

OFFICE OF THE BISHOP

Continuing Protocols for Attending Mass:

• stay six feet apart from non-household members;
• wash hands frequently;
• sanitize and clean high touch surfaces frequently;
• stay home if you are sick, and get tested for COVID-19 if you have symptoms;
• wear a face covering in public places when near others; and
• be mindful and respectful to those Alaskans that are most vulnerable to this virus, including Alaska’s senior population and those with existing health conditions.

Reception of Holy Communion:

I realize that an individual has the right to choose to receive Holy Communion in the hand or on the tongue. Based on solid science and medicine it is strongly recommended that Holy Communion be received on the hand. Those who wish to receive on the tongue will be permitted to do so. However, if you choose to receive on the tongue you are accepting the increased risk of potential exposure to COVID-19. Ministers of Holy Communion will not purify their hands between communicants. In order to maintain order during the distribution of Holy Communion, you are asked to follow the direction of the priest celebrant at Mass as to how Communion will take place.

The general dispensation from the Sunday obligation is no longer in effect. Only those who are considered high risk (i.e., those who are immune deficient, elderly, etc.) or living in communities
with stricter protocols are dispensed. This dispensation will remain in effect until further notice.

We will continue to live stream the Saturday 4:30pm Vigil and Sunday 11am Mass for those who are unable to attend in person.

May we work together at building the Kingdom of God to reform a society that is built solidly upon Christ’s justice and peace.

This Decree is effective immediately.

Sincerely in Christ,

†Most Reverend Chad W. Zielinski
Catholic Bishop of Northern Alaska
Diocese of Fairbanks

If you would like a blessing or to receive communion privately, please stay after the service or arrive at 11:ooam in Healy or 2:30pm in Nenana to see the visiting priest or deacon.

**Because we are located within a Missionary Diocese, the priests are often traveling and presiding at multiple parishes which means that some Sundays there will be a communion service lead by a deacon or lay presider instead of the priest.
