In-Person Worship Mask Mandate (updated May 27, 2022)

For your safety and the safety of others, please familiarize yourself with the following before attending any in-person service: 

• Please refrain from in-person worship and join others instead by way of our live-streaming options if you are experiencing any cold, flu or known COVID symptoms, even if you have tested negative.
• In keeping with the City of Chicago's shift to high positivity rates, masks are now mandatory while indoors throughout the church property. KN95 masks are available in the narthex.
• If you are unvaccinated we strongly recommend that you consider getting vaccinated. 
• Communion in one kind will continue to be distributed at the communion rail.  
• Please wash and sanitize your hands often. Hand sanitizer is available throughout the building.
• Coffee hour and parish receptions will continue to be offered pending volunteer leadership. 
• ​If you are a visitor and would like to be contacted in the event that we learn someone at a service later tests positive for COVID-19, please be sure to pass on  your contact information to an usher. In the event that you test positive or display concerning symptoms, please notify the Parish Administrator.  Confidentiality will be assured. 
• A working leadership group at Ascension will continue to monitor COVID developments and adjust Ascension's protocols based on the latest state, diocesan, and CDC guidelines. ​​
