Letter to the Parish re: Covid at Mass
As brothers and sisters in Christ, we wish to invite you to learn more about our family in faith: a Church filled with beauty, prayer, sacraments, holiness, service and a loving community!
Whether you are on a journey into the Catholic Church or returning to the Catholic Church, you have come to a good place.
We urge those new to the area to REGISTER at Holy Rosary Parish. Registration ensures that we know you are here and helps us understand your needs and gifts. Most importantly, it helps us to welcome you to the parish. Office hours are limited due to covid restrictions, but if you would like to call ahead to let us know you are coming, we would love to meet you. Our phone number is 206-935-8353.

To register by phone, please call the Parish Office at 206-935-8353 at least 48 hours in advance of Mass.
MINISTERS AND THEIR HOUSEHOLDS should not sign up using this platform. Instead, plesae utilize the MSP Program. This includes EMHCs, Lectors/Sacristans, A/V Techs, and Hospitality Ministers.
Because not everyone is able to attend Mass on a regular basis, the Archbishop has continued the general dispensation from the Sunday obligation. If you are healthy, we encourage you to attend Mass, but you are not required to. If you are not healthy, or live with those who are in high-risk categories, we encourage you to stay home and stay safe!
As we open for public Mass again, we are responsible for creating a safe environment for parishioners and staff, and we need your help to do so. To attend Mass, you must successfully pass this screening by answering “No” to all six of these questions. A “Yes” to even one question is a failed screening, and for the love and safety of your brothers and sisters, you are asked to remain at home.
In the last 14 days, have you:
Traveled internationally?
Been exposed to a person with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 without the correct PPE?
Had a temperature at least 100.4°F, or 1.8°F above a lower regular personal baseline temperature?
Had new or increased shortness of breath or difficulty breathing?
Had a new cough?
Had at least two of the following symptoms together: chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and/or new loss of taste or smell, diarrhea, vomiting, runny nose/congestion.
If you pass this screening, you are eligible to sign your household up for Mass.
A household is defined as a group of individuals who live together under one roof.
A comprehensive guide to changes at Mass during the pandemic can be viewed HERE.
All Masses are livestreamed! If you are unable to join us in person, please join us virtually!
Prayer for Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most holy Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
