At this time we are asking everyone to quickly exit the Cathedral immediately after receiving Communion at the end of Mass.  Please move immediately to your car and exit the parking lot.  We understand the natural tendency to want to stop and visit with your friends that you haven't seen for two months or longer.  But we do not have that long between masses. 

The ushers and volunteers helping with sanitization need to move quickly to complete their tasks before we need to start seating people for the next Mass.  And we need to keep the parking lot moving for the same reason - so that those coming for the next Mass will be able to arrive early and find a space.  Thank you for understanding the need, at this time, to leave the Cathedral campus in an efficient manner.

Sanitization 

If you are a volunteer helping as a hospitality minister/usher or helping with the sanitization tasks, find one of the ushers near the exit to Hehman Hall and you will be given instructions about what to do to help sanitize the Cathedral for the next mass.  

If you are contacted and agree to assist in this role, you would be asked to take on some of the following tasks:

• Stay after mass for 30-40 minutes to complete the sanitization of the Cathedral
• Discard and replace plastic wrap on tops of pews
• Wipe down door handles (inside/out)
• No strenuous activity will be required

Supplies, including hand-sanitizer, will be provided. You will need to remain masked as you perform these duties.  A cleaning crew will be hired to sanitize the bathrooms so this is not part of the volunteer role.
