COVID-19 SAFETY

Starting June 15, 2021,
The Church will Reopen for Regular Services,
All Liturgical Celebrations, and Religious Services

Reminder: Even though the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic are being significantly reduced, COVID-19 remains a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease. Kindly continue to protect yourselves, your loved ones, and our community by following all recommendations.

• Services will be held inside the church with no capacity limits.
  • Reserved designated areas for families with unvaccinated children will observe social distancing and capacity limits within those areas.
• Current Los Angeles County and the Los Angeles Archdiocese guidelines require everyone to wear masks while indoors.
  • St. Thomas More parish also recommends continuing other practices that help prevent the spread of COVID-19, such as social distancing and regular disinfecting. 
• We love our parishioners: Please carefully consider all safety options.
  • Vaccinations have been demonstrated to significantly reduce the chances of getting COVID-19 and hospitalization if you do become infected: Only 3% of COVID-19 hospital patients are also fully vaccinated.
  • Testing, along with quarantining if positive, can help you protect those you care for while reducing the spread so we can all get back to normal.
• Holy Communion will be offered only in the form of bread, and the preferred distribution is by hand.

Please see the full guidelines set forth by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
*Note: While these guidelines indicate otherwise, they have been recently modified to align with mask-wearing mandates in Los Angeles County.

ADLA Reopening Guidelines
