From the Diocese of Wilmington:                      

In response to the rising numbers of positive COVID-19 cases, particularly the Omicron
variant, the Diocese of Wilmington is issuing new COVID-19 protocols for all parishes
effective January 6, 2022.

• We encourage everyone to wear a mask.                                                                                           
•  Mass attendees over the age of 5 who are not vaccinated for COVID-19 must wear a
   mask.
• Clergy and Liturgical ministers at all parishes are encouraged to wear masks, except
  when speaking publicly.
• Clergy and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion must carefully adhere to proper
  hand sanitization following the distribution of communion on the tongue.
• Be mindful of social distancing.
• We rely on individual's compliance with these guidelines
