Requirements for Attending Mass and
other Liturgical Services at St. Francis Xavier
 

Our worship spaces and other areas are being cleaned and sanitized between services.

Masses and confession will be offered at our usual times. The 4:30 p.m. Saturday Mass will continue to be streamed and available through our website www.sfxbirmingham.com. 
 

Guidelines that must be followed are:

• Masks shall be worn as per CDC guidelines. Masks are optional for those who are vaccinated.

• Physical distancing encouraged, with some pews roped off, however other areas remain without rope. Please do not remove any ropes.

• Communion will be received on the hand. For those wanting to receive directly on the tongue, we ask you wait toward the end of the line.

• Face masks must be lowered before receiving Holy Communion. If you wear gloves they must be removed to receive Communion

• Please exit the church beginning with the back pews, followed by the middle and finally the front pews. DO NOT congregate in the vestibule or nave of the church

​

The Bishop's dispensation from attendance at Mass has ended as of May 24, 2021. However, if you do not feel comfortable coming to Mass, be at peace and know that we are praying for you and your families.
