Diaconal Home Visits
In an effort to continue the outreach of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church during this pandemic period, Fr. Bryan has approved Deacon Craig to make home visits to those who request such.
Here are the current guidelines that will be assessed and adjusted as needed:
Home visits will take place outside the home (front porch, carport, patio).
Visits will generally last for about 15 minutes, depending on the schedule and topic of the visit.
Visits may include reception of the Blessed Sacrament if requested at the time that the visit is scheduled.
Visits will not include the Sacrament of Confession or Anointing of the Sick unless otherwise coordinated - confessions are available at church with Fr. Bryan and Anointing will be based on circumstances and available by appointment with Fr. Bryan.
Anyone having been exposed to, having active symptoms of, or a positive test for COVID19 must make this known to Deacon Craig before a visit is scheduled.
Parishioners should expect that clergy will exercise appropriate distancing and exercise proper sanitizing before, during, and after visits.
Procedure:
Those requesting a pastoral visit should send an email to ctaffaro@arch-no.org including the following:
A return email will be sent with a proposed time for the visit.
