Cathedral of Christ the King

We strongly encourage our parishioners to donate electronically during this time of uncertain Mass attendance.  This is a safe and consistant way to ensure that the parish is able to continue to fund the ministries that support those in need. 

Consider spending an hour each week with Jesus and together we can pray
unceasingly for the world, the Church and our own needs.

We have now lifted many of the COVID-19 restrictions we have been living with since the beginning of the pandemic.

This does not mean the pandemic is over. But with an increasing percentage of people being vaccinated and a falling number of daily new infections, we have reached a point that we can lift a number of the the current restrictions. We encourage those who have not yet gotten vaccinated to get vaccinated now.

Effective immediately, we are making the following changes:

Masking

• Now masking for those 2 and up will be tied to Fayette County COVID status.
• https://govstatus.egov.com/kycovid19

• There is no longer a requirement for social distancing.
• With one exception, we will be removing the orange cords so that all pews and chairs will be available for seating.
• For those who would prefer to observe social distancing between households, we will be keeping the orange chords in place on the half of the Guadalupe Chapel side closest to the sacristy.

• Ministers of Holy Communion will continue wearing masks.
• The Minister will resume saying, "The Body of Christ" and the recipient can respond, "Amen!"
• Communion will only be offered under the form of bread.
• The norm for reception of communion remains in the hand for the duration of the pandemic.
• For those who wish to receive Communion on the tongue:
• our safety protocol would be for you to come up the center aisle to receive from the priest AND to come at the end of the line.
• Ushers will continue to release people from the pews to come forward for Communion.
• However, in anticipation of soon having Extraordinary Ministers available again to help distribute Communion, we will form two lines to come forward (as was the norm before the pandemic) in each aisle.
• We anticipate bringing freshly trained Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion on-board over the next few weeks.

• Holy water fonts will be put back out and available.
• Music books will be put back into the racks behind the pews and available for use.
• Sanitization of pews and surfaces is no longer required.

• Hand sanitizers will remain in place. Frequent hand washing is still encouraged.
• We will not be taking up collections with baskets.
• The receptacles will remain in place at the three main entrances for collection drop-off.
• Many people switched to online giving during the pandemic. That is also encouraged. CLICK HERE to get started with that.
• The sign of peace between households will remain contactless.

• All entrances to the Cathedral will now be open and available for entry/exit.
• Anyone who still wishes to wear a mask, for whatever reason, should feel comfortable doing so.
• Our fantastic usher team will be transitioning from directing seating and movement to more of a mode of hospitality ministers - greeting everyone when they arrive and, perhaps, directing those entering to sections where more seating might be available.

While these are significant and welcome changes, let's all remember that the pandemic is not over. We want everyone to still feel safe when we come together to worship, and give thanks and praise to our Lord at Mass. Let's continue to pray together for an end to the pandemic as we move further into the summer.
