St. Elizabeth Seton Re-Opening

*** Update June 8, 2020 ***

We are delighted to resume public Mass soon. As we make our slow transition back into the church, we want to reflect on the recommendations from the Diocese for all who are vulnerable, including those who are sick, have weakened immune systems, pregnant, the very young, or those who are uncomfortable. Please stay safe, continue to remain home, and join the liturgies via online live stream for now.

During our first transition steps of reintroduction to the church, please be patient as we work through the logistics of so many desiring a return to the sacraments. We are currently planning a fair and equitable rotation using a ticketing system to ensure everyone has an opportunity to return. We will be refining this process as we find what works. Please thank all the volunteers who are working tirelessly to make this a smooth, easy process.

Public Mass began Monday, June 8 for daily Mass;
June 13-14 was the first public weekend Mass.

Reservations will not be required for daily Mass.
We will update this page with further information as it becomes available.
Thank you.

NOTE:

Please continue to stay home and enjoy the live stream Mass. For the safety of our parishioners in the at risk category by CDC, we request that you stay home if you or anyone in your household recently took the Covid test and awaiting results (even if you are not experiencing any symptoms). Also if you or someone in your household is ill or have travelled recently.  Your patience and full cooperation will allow us to remain open.

GUIDELINES:  

We will be using a reservation system for your preferred Mass time every Wednesday morning so that everyone has an opportunity to attend.  If you need assistance with reserving or cancelling a spot, please call our parish office 760-438-3393 between 9am – 12pm or email info@seschurch.org with your name and Mass time for assistance.

• We are limited to 100 people in the church at this time. 
• We will all be required to wear masks at all times in the gathering space.
• We will all use hand sanitizers which will be available in the church.
• We must observe physical distancing of 6 feet between non-family members.
• We will avoid physical contact with those not in the same household as ours.
• We will all avoid congregating before and after church on the church grounds.
• Plan to arrive early to allow appropriate time for seating; if you’re running late, we encourage you to stay home and watch the live stream either live or on replay.
• Please have your ticket or digital confirmation on your phone ready upon arrival to expedite seating.
• Please sit in every other pew (ushers and ministers of hospitality will assist with seating).
• Please sit only in designated pews (please do not move or remove the pew ribbons).
• We encourage you to contribute online.  Offertory boxes will be available by the entrance (baskets will not be passed around) .
• Receive the Blessed Sacrament ONLY IN THE HAND; you are asked to keep your mask on until you are ready to receive the sacred host, pull down your mask, receive the host, then replace your mask immediately after and return to your seat. 
• Please do not sing; cough or sneeze into your mask or elbow.  
• There will be signs placed outside and inside the church; and directions from our ushers and ministers of hospitality will assist you through the church.
