Sanitary measures during the Covid 19 period

To enter the premisses, it is necessary to wear a mask and to wash your hands with hydro-alcoholic gel (dispenser available at the entrance of the church).

The number of faithful admitted in the church is limited to 20 people including the choir. A cord is in place to limit access.

Excess parishioners are invited to follow the service from the garden. For this purpose, the doors of the church are wide open and the loudspeakers put into operation.

In the church as in the garden, the regulatory distances must be respected during and after the service.

Wearing a mask in the church is compulsory, including for confession (only choir members and clergy are authorized to remove it when necessary).

It is asked not to kiss the icons or the hand of the priest who gives his blessing from a distance.

Beyond 20 faithful inside the church, only one person at a time will be authorized to enter the church to worship in front of the icons, to put candles and to confess.

Holy Communion is given according to modalities that the priest specifies before the communion.
