We are thrilled that public masses will resume at St. Stephens Parish on Monday! Please note that reservations are required to attend Mass. While most aspects of the Mass experience will remain the same, there are several striking differences:

1. To maintain safe social distancing, many of the pews, or portions of pews and free standing seats have been taped off and are closed. 
2. Masks are required upon entering the church, and must be worn throughout Mass.
3. Only the main door of the church will be open to be used for entering and exiting the church.
4. Missals and hymnals have been removed from the pews to limit shared contact. 
5. Bathrooms will remain closed. 
6. Communion will take place at the conclusion of Mass, after the final blessing, in the atrium. Please remain in your seats until an usher directs you to communion. Once receiving communion, please exit the church. 
7. Communion will only be distributed in the hand. 
8. The church will close for sanitizing after Mass and will reopen at 10am for private prayer. 

Our staff has created an instructional video (see below) which details what you can expect for daily mass, as well as for Sunday mass.

The preferred reservation method is through our Flocknote SignUp link. 

If you know any parishioners that do not use the internet, they are invited to call the rectory office to leave their name and phone number for a daily mass reservation. 

** Please note that the SignUp link can also be found on the homepage of our website, as well as on our parish Facebook page, St. Stephen the First Martyr Parish Warwick.
