On Friday, May 15, 2020, Bishop Burbidge released a statement regarding early phase one reintegration in the Diocese of Arlington, permitting Northern Virginia parishes to begin Communion services. Read more about the Bishop’s statement here.
Queen of Apostles will be offering Communion services Tuesday, May 26, through Saturday, May 30 for an hour beginning at 10am (NOT 8am, as previously mentioned in the parish email). Note that will be NO COMMUNION SERVICE MONDAY, MAY 25, which is Memorial Day.
A porter will allow 9 people at a time to enter the Sanctuary. During the Rite of Distributing Holy Communion outside Mass, only the priest will distribute Holy Communion.
Everyone will be expected to wear a face mask and to bring their own hand sanitizer, which they will apply prior to entering the Church and again immediately before receiving Communion. Social distancing will need to be observed. The participants will be expected to remain standing the whole time, approximately 15 minutes, and to exit immediately to allow the next group to enter.
We will have volunteer porters ushering people. Please be charitable with them, especially if at some point someone is asked to remain outside to comply with person-per-gathering limits. We are most grateful for your patience during this time.
Please remember that all the faithful of the Diocese of Arlington are dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation until further notice. We will continue to livestream Mass.
On Monday, March 16, 2020, Bishop Burbidge announced the suspension of all public Masses beginning March 17th, until further notice.
Bishop Burbidge has asked pastors to keep churches open to the public, so that those who choose to pray, are welcome to do so in the presence of our Eucharistic Lord. That being said, Queen of Apostles will continue to remain open from 8 am to 9 pm. However, in order to comply with social distancing, we need to avoid groupings of more than 10. Thank you for your cooperation.
