In an effort to safeguard the faithful now that the coronavirus (COVID-19) has emerged in Northeast Ohio, the liturgical changes contained in this article will take effect immediately, until further notice.

• All ministers of Holy Communion (Priests, Deacons, Eucharistic Ministers) should wash their hands before Mass and after the distribution of Holy Communion. Hand sanitizer may be used in the pew prior to the distribution of Holy Communion.
• The distribution of the Precious Blood has been suspended. As Catholics, our faith informs us that the whole Christ, that is his Body and Blood, is present when only the host is received.
