Those who plan on attending Mass on Saturday evening or Sunday, please bring your own mask if you have one. You can bring your own personal hand sanitizer, if you feel the need to. Masks and hand sanitizer will also be available at the entrances to church. Plan on arriving 10 to 15 minutes earlier than usual, since seating people will probably take longer than usual.
As we prepare to come back together to celebrate Mass, the Diocese of La Crosse has presented our parishes with guidelines that must be followed. Among those is the 25% occupancy standards and social distancing requirements. In an effort to stay aware of that, the Diocese has asked that parishes organize their Mass attendance. St. Matt's will use Sign-up Genius to keep track of attendance. Registration is easy. Just click "Mass Sign-Up" at the top of this article, and it will take you to the sign-up page. Let us know if you have any difficulties with the process. Please help to spread the word to other parishioners, and assist those who may not have access to the Internet. Those without Internet access can call the parish office and ask to speak to Barb, Fr. Peter or Fr. Bob. One of us can then help with completing the sign-up form. Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to seeing you at Mass!
