We, as disciples of Jesus Christ and members of St Catherine of Siena Catholic Church of Ripon, ever grateful for our rich heritage, empowered by our common Baptism and increasingly enriched through lifelong formation and spiritual growth, proclaim the love and teachings of Christ through the sacraments, prayer, worship and service.

Effective Immediately!
Sunday and Daily Mass/Wearing of Face Masks - we are following CDC guidelines. The CDC recommendation is that those who are fully vaccinated do not need to wear masks but those not fully vaccinated are expected to continue to wear masks indoors Fr. Davies, Esther and myself are fully vaccinated.
Reception of Communion - We are to maintain reception of Communion under one species. Reception of Communion is recommended in the hand only, as alternating distribution between hand and tongue is not allowed.
Hand Sanitizer - Hand Sanitizer will still be available in the church for everyone’s use as they wish.
Holy Water Fonts - The new touchless holy water fonts are in!
Cleaning/Disinfecting - High touch area’s need to be cleaned if the area is going to be used within 72 hours, so the church will need to wiped down after 4 pm Mass doing the high touch areas.
Parish Events, which would include Festivals, Funeral dinners, parish picnics etc. - We can have them we just cannot have self-serve food options. Food needs to be plated and those plating need to use gloves. So Octoberfest has been tentatively scheduled for October 17th with Tuba Dan.
We have gone through many changes this past year, and I thank everyone who stepped up to follow the guidelines and implement them. We thank the Archbishop for taking the lead in helping us maneuver these past 14 months. Many things we have implemented will remain. Live Streaming will continue but we need some volunteers so let me know if you can help. We will train!
Thank you again!
