RE-OPENING OF CHURCHES
MONDAY, JUNE 29th, 2020
In line with Phase 3 of the lifting of the Covid 19 lockdown, it is
planned to re-open our parish church on Monday, June 29th.
As you are aware there are strict guidelines regarding physical
distancing (which at the time of writing is 2 metres) and
sanitising.
While the church building, and ancillary buildings (toilets and
sacristy) will be sanitised before and after each Mass or
ceremony, we want to stress that if you manifest any of the
symptoms of the Covid 19 virus, if you have underlying health
issues, or feel you might be endangering your health by entering
a church building, then we encourage you to continue to join us
on parish radio 105.2FM or on the parish webcam
www.ballyhaunisparish.ie/webcam
Again we thank those of you who have volunteered to help as
ushers and with sanitising the church. We estimate that we will
need at least 4 ushers per Mass. We are still looking for people
to volunteer as ushers. If you are happy to volunteer please con-
tact the parish office at (094) 9630006 or ballyhaunispar-
An information evening for Ushers and Eucharistic Minis-
ters will be held on Wednesday, June 24th at 7.00pm. in the
church.
Again we want to stress that:
The limited available seating will be allocated on a first-come
first-served basis. If you find that on your arrival at the church
all the available seating is full, and you wish to receive Holy
Communion, we encourage you to return to your car and join
in the Mass on your car radio. You are asked to avoid congre-
gating outside the church. At the end of Mass, follow the di-
rections of the ushers and line up outside the south wall
(Supervalu-side) of the church.
The doors of the church will open half an hour before each
Mass/ceremony.
The available pews on both side aisles will be reserved for
family groups (3-6 persons)
Due to physical distancing the seating capacity of the church
will be approximately 74 individuals/couples and a maximum
of 120 people depending on the number of family groups at-
tending.
Ushers will be available to direct people and to ensure physi-
cal distancing. We ask that Mass-goers co-operate with the
ushers and avoid confrontation.
We ask that you avail of the available hand sanitisers on enter-
ing and exiting the church.
It is strongly recommended that you wear some form of face-
covering while in the church.
The distribution of Holy Communion will take place at the
end of Mass. The celebrant and three Eucharistic Ministers
will take up positions at the back of the church.
Those inside the church will receive Communion first and
exit by the main entrance and the side door on the north side.
Face covering is to be removed prior to receiving
Communion.
Communion will then be distributed to those outside the
church. Ushers will direct you through the side door on the
south side (Supervalu-side). You will receive communion and
exit by the main entrance or north side door (sanitising your
hands as you leave). Eucharistic ministers will remain on for
a short time after Mass to distribute Communion, so it might
even be possible to join us remotely for the Mass on radio/
webcam from your home and then make your way to the
church in order to receive Communion.
Because the Sunday obligation has been dispensed with for
the present, we encourage those of you can attend Mass on
weekdays to do so and to stay away at weekends in order to
facilitate those who are unable to attend during the week.
EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS & READERS: We are aware
that some of our Eucharistic Ministers and Readers may prefer
not to be listed for duty following the re-opening of the church
on Monday 29th June. We would invite you to contact the par-
ish office (094-9630006) during the coming week and let us
know what your preference is.
Eucharistic Ministers who are willing to resume duty are kindly
asked to attend the meeting on Wednesday 24th June at 7.00pm.
in the church.
PRIESTS’ SUMMER COLLECTION: Envelopes for the
Priests’ Summer Collection are now ready for distribution. We
would be very grateful if the distributors would let us know if
they are happy to continue to distribute the envelopes. If so they
can be collected at the parish office during the coming week or
alternatively posted out to the distributors.
