In-Person Worship
In accordance with the latest recommendations from the diocese, city, state, and CDC, we are once again requiring that in-person attendees resume wearing masks.  A document fully outlining Ascension's Covid protocols can be found here. 

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

• If you have any symptoms that may be related to COVID-19, please do not come to church. ​
• All in attendance at any Mass are asked to wear masks.
• Those leading worship, including lectors, choir members and clergy, may remove masks when reading/singing/chanting and should otherwise wear them.
• Members of the congregation are asked to remain masked even when responding in the liturgy and singing.
• Masks may of course be removed to receive the Sacrament.
• Masks should be worn inside any part of the church but may be removed outdoors (including in the event of a garden coffee hour).
• Pleated masks (of the kind shown on the emojis above) or KN95 masks are available at no cost at the church.
• Please wash and sanitize your hands often. Hand sanitizer is available throughout the building.
• Members of the same household may share a pew. Whether alone or with others, please remain a few feet from any aisle.
• Communion will continue to be distributed at the communion rail.  Communicants wearing masks are asked to remove them briefly to consume the host. 
• Restroom use instructions will be provided in the bulletin. Please ask an usher if you need assistance.
• Coffee hour and parish receptions will continue. We ask that all taking part continue to observe reasonable safety and social distancing practices.   
• ​In the event that we learn someone at a service later tests positive for COVID-19, you will be contacted either by email or phone. In the event that you test positive or display concerning symptoms, please notify the Rector or Parish Administrator.  Confidentiality will be assured. ​​

Pre-Registration is No Longer Required
However, in order to facilitate contact tracing in the unlikely event it is necessary, we do ask that you check in with an usher upon arrival.
