St. Timothy will continue to follow guidance offered by Bishop Noonan in reopening Parishes and in reducing the COVID 19 infection numbers in our Diocese. The reopening will utilize the following requirements and recommendations:
 
Required:

• Masks are required to be worn at all Masses and gatherings on Parish grounds. Masks are available from Ushers and meeting leaders.
• All meetings must be scheduled in advance.
• COVID 19 "Risk and Liability Waivers" and screening questionnaires must be completed by all attendees of gatherings on Parish grounds and provided to the meeting leaders prior to the scheduled meeting time. Waivers and Questionnaires are available for download on the right of this page.
• Meeting leaders will maintain attendance sheets recording names and contact phone numbers.
• Meeting leaders must enforce Social Distancing.

When you cannot receive Holy Communion...

It has long been a Catholic understanding that when circumstances prevent one from receiving Holy Communion, it is possible to make an Act of Spiritual Communion which is a source of grace. 
 

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.
