• Currently, the Obligation to attend Mass is lifted. If you feel ill, are older than 64 or have health issues, you should stay home.
• The number of people at Mass is limited according to public health guidelines, currently 50% of our normal church seating capacity.
• To enter the church, you must wear a mask and use hand sanitizer as needed.
• Social distancing of six feet is required everywhere on church property, including the steps, parking lot, restrooms, etc.
• Family Members Living-In the Same House Do Not Need to Sit 6 Feet Apart.
• You must sign in so you can be contacted if someone at the Mass is later found to have COVID-19 exposure.
• Church entrances and exits are limited for the safety of all.
• Currently, the Holy Water is removed, the Collection will be taken as you enter church, the Offertory Procession is eliminated and no personal contact at the Sign of Peace.
• After Mass, the ushers will release you one pew at a time to receive Communion, and Holy Communion will only be given in the hand. Gloves are not to be worn.
• After Mass, Please Do Not Leave Anything in the Pew.
• If we all take these steps prayerfully, with hearts filled with love for God and our neighbors, we will hasten the day when we can again gather for large celebrations.

Please keep in mind, in these extraordinary times that, although we cannot all attend Mass, the Church’s financial obligations remain. We ask that you continue to support your Church as you are able and look to the time when we can all gather together again in faith. Some options:
· Mail or deliver offertory envelopes & Parish Share pledges to your church office (or secure mailbox).
· Set up your church as an automatic bill payee through your online banking.
· Donate through Online Giving for your church on our grouping website at www.elizabethsouthalleghenycc.org.
Click on the ONLINE GIVING tab on the red
bar at the top of the webpage, select your
church, and complete the online form.  Thank you!

• Everyone is a permissive reporter and is encouraged to make a report of suspected child abuse. Reporters of suspected child abuse fall into two categories. 
• Mandated reporters are those adults who come into direct contact with children in the course of their employment or volunteer of a regularly scheduled program or activity, who accepts responsibility for a child.
• The trigger to report is a reasonable suspicion that a child is being abused.  Permissive reporters may report anonymously; mandated reporters may not.

• Reports of suspected child abuse are to be made immediately.
• If the child is in imminent danger, call 911
• Reports may be made orally by phone or electronically
  • Oral reports are made to ChildLine at 1-800-932-0313 which is available 24/7
  • Electronic reports are made via CWIS Self-Service portal at www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis
• Inform the supervisor or person in charge of your program that a report was made
