All in this together

Responding to COVID-19

CURRENT PROTOCOLS

Updated March 2022

In light of new guidance from the CDC, the All Saints' Public Health Task Force and vestry have approved the following COVID-19 protocols:

Mask-wearing is optional for all parishioners indoors and outdoors.
We have K95/N95 masks available for those who wish to wear one.
Nursery staff will continue to wear masks in the nursery and when with children.
We now have wine at communion and can share the common cup once again. Anyone is welcome to continue to receive communion in one kind by only receiving the bread; that remains a valid and longstanding way of receiving the full body of Christ.

We ask that you do not attend in-person events at All Saints' if:

You have had a fever (temperature of 100.4 °F or greater) or any symptoms of COVID-19 in the past 3 days. Click here to view a list of symptoms.
You have been exposed to anyone with these symptoms or anyone who may themselves have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
You have any health concerns about attending.
You are not willing to accept a level of personal health risk in attending.

Several factors have been identified that increase the risk of severe disease in people who develop COVID-19, including older age and a host of underlying medical conditions. Please review the information on the CDC website here and/or consult your healthcare provider if you have questions about your potential risks for contracting severe COVID-19.
