CHURCHES OPEN FOR PRIVATE PRAYER 

• HOURS for Private Prayer at each Church: 11:00 am – 2:00 pm, Monday – Friday. There will be seating in designated areas only so that cleaning and proper sanitation can be
  carried out on a regular basis.  The areas open for private prayer will be clearly marked.  In addition to daily cleaning and sanitizing, the use of masks and social distancing (maintaining a distance of at least 6 feet) is required for any use of the Church buildings.

• ENTRANCE into and out of the Churches will be as follows:  St. Clare of Assisi – use the side entrance closest to the parking lot, near the Tabernacle; St. Elizabeth of Hungary – use the side entrance closest to the school parking lot; Holy Spirit – use the main entrance doors; St. Thomas à Becket – use the main entrance doors closest to the Chapel. 
• RESTROOMS in the Church need to remain locked, as it is not possible for staff to clean and sanitize after each use. 
• SIGN-IN Please sign-in upon entering the Church.  If someone becomes ill with COVID-19, those in attendance will be contacted to be alerted of the potential risk.
