St Robert Bellarmine 

Masks Announcement July 1:
A letter was issued by the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph. The verbiage is below. 

Due to a plethora of inquiries:  regarding Mayor Lucas’ recent Order regarding the wearing of masks indoors in public spaces for June 29-July 12, Bishop Johnston’s previous liturgical directive that those over the age of two arriving and exiting our parish churches for Mass and public worship as well as for the reception of Holy Communion absolutely MUST be wearing a mask is consonant with the new Order. 

Because there is to be maintained the six-foot distancing between individuals and household groups, the optional removal of a mask while in one’s pew also is compliant with the new Order. 

Announcements June 26:
The Bishop's office has updated some of the guidelines. Please CLICK HERE to see the entire letter. Some highlights are listed below.
1.   Homebound - Clergy and EMHCs (with the approval of the pastor) may begin distribution of Holy Communion in a private home with many guidelines and stipulations. We will contact our homebound to determine their willingness to have someone visit.
2.  Nursing Homes -  Nursing homes are still problematic due to the ongoing changes in law and health directives. Pastors are invited to contact nursing home administrators directly to begin a dialogue about these pastoral and/or communion visits that are not in danger of death situations. 
3. Masks -  Masks remain required for all who are entering/exiting our Churches for Masses.
4. Social Distancing -  The governmental, CDC, and KCSJ of our Bishop, still require six feet social distancing. Weekend Masses, weddings, funerals, and other large worship gatherings still REQUIRE six feet of social distancing.
5. Large Group Gatherings -  The previously presented Large Group Gatherings published mid-May continues in force: “Large parish gathering events are currently not possible due to the above restrictions. "
*Please be aware that the dispensation from your Sunday Obligation is still in effect from Bishop Johnston. First and foremost, we are keeping everyone’s health and safety as a priority in our decision making.
