The parish will make an effort to reach out to all the sick and homebound to help with any needs they may have to include having volunteers drop off needed items but person to person contact must be avoided. The following is from Bishop Guglielmone:
"It is up to each pastor to determine if he or an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion (EMHC) can return to providing communion to those who are shut-in at home. If you choose to resume this, you or the EMHC must wear a mask during the visit, and take all sanitary precautions before and after. Additionally, it is encouraged that no one enter the house, that communion is distributed at the door or an available outside space, and that the communicant receive in the hand, if possible."
In accord with the Bishop's directives Father Dennis has decided as pastor to return to providing communion to the sick and homebound. We are presently contacting our EMHCs and whether they are able to return to this Ministry. Parish meeting rooms are now available! Strict protocols are in place for the reservation and use of these rooms. Rooms must be reserved through Pat Moore at the parish office. Please email her at parish.life@ollchapin.org. Before contacting Pat Moore to reserve a room please review the protocols for the use of parish facilities during Covid-19 Precautions HERE! If you or a loved one are in danger of death and need a priest for Last Rites then please call Fr. Dennis at 843.834.5447. The parish offices will remain open during our regular business hours. We ask that you limit visits to the office. Most business with the parish should be easily done through email or phone calls. The church will be open during the day for prayer, 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. As per the Bishop's letter the Adoration Chapel will be closed .
Please continue to support the parish through on-line giving or by sending a check in the mail. We are dependent on your generosity. Thank you in advance for your gifts.
