Safety Protocol Update ~ 7.18.2021

To Parishioners:

This message is being sent to you in keeping with our commitment to move forward safely as Covid guidelines across the country are being modified. If you have any concerns, please wear a mask, and take precautions as needed.

~ As a reminder, if you or anyone in your family are at risk or unwell, please know the general dispensation still applies. We are seeing an increase in people hospitalized in Branson due to Covid-19. Vaccination opportunities have been readily available in our area for several months. If you are unable to or choose not to be vaccinated, please wear a mask to keep yourself and others safe.

~ We have removed ropes in several sections. These sections within the Church afford both physical distancing and those which allow for closer seating. The roped-off sections are intended for those who are immune-compromised or desire physical distancing. You may ask our ushers where those sections are. As we begin to move forward, we still want to respect and acknowledge those who have concerns. We hope to find a balance between meeting people where they are and accommodating their needs.

~ We will continue to provide masks for those choosing to wear them, but that choice is yours. Again, we want to respect the individual wishes of those attending.

~ Communion protocol will remain in place. All ministers will continue to sanitize and wear masks while distributing communion.

~ Meetings at the Church will still respect the physical distancing protocol and sanitize after each gathering. Since no known transmissions have been spread through food, groups wishing to resume activities with food should check with the parish office for a set of guidelines.

We genuinely appreciate your patience as we move safely forward. Recognizing that we have visitors from many areas, our primary concern is helping to keep everyone coming through our doors safe. We also want to respect and acknowledge that many people are in different and varying places regarding their comfort level as the pandemic lessens in the U.S.

Thank you for your understanding and may God continue to bless Our Lady of the Lake, our parishioners, and our visitors.

Father J.

As we wear our  masks,
it can be difficult to “see” each other!
