ANNOUNCEMENTS

REVISED PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
Posted: 28 July 2020 9:10 a.m.

Dear Parishioners of St. Nicholas & Holy Family,

          On Wednesday, July 22, Ohio Governor Michael DeWine issued the order that all Ohio residents are mandated to wear facial coverings/masks in all public places beginning at 6:00 PM on Thursday, July 23, 2020. This recent requirement is a result of the rising cases of COVID-19 in the State of Ohio. “Masks”, the order relates, “must be worn in all public places and anywhere where people are close together, including outdoor areas.”
          While our practice of late has been to rely on the good will of our parishioners in wearing facial coverings/masks in church, the statewide mandate now makes the necessity clearer for us in Miller City and New Cleveland. In fact, a July 23 notice was sent on behalf of Bishop Daniel Thomas, indicating that all parishes and institutions in the Diocese of Toledo are to comply with the statewide facial covering/mask mandate. It is my hope that as challenging as this mandate may be for us, the parishioners attending public Masses and religious services in our churches will follow the recent state mandate to wear facial coverings/masks during public services. This includes all weekday and weekend Masses, weddings, funerals and baptisms, as well as all meetings and social gatherings held in our parish facilities. We will implement this practice immediately.
          I think most would agree it has been a special joy having the privilege to celebrate public Masses again in our churches since the initial suspension was mandated in March. We want to avoid another suspension if possible. Wearing a facial covering/mask in public will mitigate the spread of this deadly virus. It is not a time to play roulette with COVID-19!
          Certainly, there are legitimate reasons that some cannot wear a facial covering/mask in public. This recent mandate includes the following exemptions: 1) infants or children 10 and younger, 2) people actively playing sports or working out, 3) anyone with a medical condition including respiratory conditions that restrict breathing, mental health conditions, or disability contraindicates the wearing of a facial covering, 4) persons communicating or seeking to communicate with someone who is hearing-impaired or has another disability, where the ability to see the mouth is essential for communication, 5) anyone involved in public safety, 6) anyone actively eating or drinking, 7) anyone officiating at a religious service.
          I have made it my personal practice to wear a mask when walking in the areas where people are seated after hearing confessions before Masses and during the distribution of Holy Communion as I am in closer proximity to others. I have not worn a facial covering/mask during Mass at the altar and when preaching at the pulpit because the distance from persons seated in the pews is more than the required six foot distance. Besides, it is extremely difficult to speak and be heard while wearing a facial covering/mask.
          I applaud the good efforts our parishioners at Holy Family and St. Nicholas have made these past weeks and months to mitigate the spread of this viral pandemic. Thank you for your charitable spirit and concern for one another when attending public church services. We continue to post a weekly taped Lord’s Day Mass on our parish website for those who are remaining at home at this time.

Keeping each of you in my daily prayers,

Monsignor Charles E. Singler
Pastor
