We hope that these changes will be short-lived. Thank you for your cooperation.
From the City of Iowa City: Mayor Bruce Teague has issued an order that, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the spread of the Delta variant, every person in the City of Iowa City must wear a face covering when in a public space. The order will take effect at 11:59 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 19, 2021. The order will expire on Sept. 30, 2021, unless otherwise extended. More information HERE.
- We urge that masks be worn by everyone (over the age of 2) at any indoor gathering or public space, including the liturgy. At the liturgy, masks must be worn by those distributing communion.
- Parishes should return to social distancing measures, in a manner that works best for their community.
- Congregational singing is temporarily suspended. A single, masked and vaccinated cantor may be used.
We hope that these changes will be short-lived. Thank you for your cooperation.
