MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING NO LONGER REQUIRED
Bishop Malloy has informed us that effective immediately, in accordance with the current guidelines of the CDC and the State of Illinois, fully vaccinated people are no longer required to wear masks or social distance.  For the needs of those who are not fully vaccinated, and those who may feel more comfortable seated around others who are wearing masks, there will be social distancing in the last three pews.  No one is to be asked about their vaccination status or to document that status.  The cooperation and good will of all is presumed in the matter. Masses will continue to be livestreamed at stjbsom.org/mass-livestream.   Communion on the tongue is now permitted.
