 It is a Washington State Mandate for all to register for Masses each week.

Open to register from Monday morning until Friday afternoon.
If you don't see the Mass time you would like to attend,
it means, we have reached capacity, please choose another Mass time.

Walk-ins are welcome after the sign up is closed until we reach capacity.
(Saturday and Sunday only)

____________________________________________________________________________________
We have been asked why we need to register for Mass on a weekly basis:

 We are required to have a list of attendees for every mass for contact tracing purposes. 
If someone tests positive for Covid-19 we must have a list of anyone that may have been
in close proximity to the individual  and make that list available to the Snohomish County
Health Department.  The lists must be kept for a minimum of two weeks.

 Due to Covid-19 restrictions our use of all facilities have been severely restricted.  We can accommodate about 88 people in Dalton Hall for Mass.  We do not want to turn anyone
away ever so it helps us to better manage attendance and prepare the Hall for the 6’ separation guidelines

COVID 19 GUIDELINES –NOVEMBER 2020

Bishop Mueggenborg has provided guidance for the necessary changes we will be making to be compliant with Governor Inslee’s new COVID-19 restrictions.  None of these changes were taken lightly and the great news is that we are still allowed to worship in our churches thanks in large part to the great work all the parishes in Western Washington have been doing adhering to COVID-19 safety measures.  The changes outlined below go into effect immediately and will remain until at least December 14.

AT MASS:

• St Thomas More cantor sings inside the flexi shield.  When not singing they wear masks.
• The congregation are discouraged to sing at Mass to mitigate the spread of the virus
• Lectors are social distanced 12 ft away from the people
• People are social distanced when sitting

ST THOMAS MORE STAFF WORKS FROM HOME AND ARE AVAILABLE FOR AN IN PERSON MEETING IF NEEDED.   We are still here to serve you, so please call us at 425-743-2929 or email a staff member to set up appointment to meet with them in person. Masks and social distancing will be required, but the same warm staff member will be happy to help you.

ST THOMAS MORE’S MEETINGS AND PROGRAMS ARE ONLINE AND ZOOM

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AS WE TRY TO FLATTEN THE CURVE.  WE'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER. 

STAY SAFE!
