Click here or logo to: "Read the readings for Sunday as a family, and then discuss what they say to you or what questions they bring to mind. Then offer prayers of petitions for those you are concerned about followed by the Lord’s Prayer. " Fr. Steve recommends this above watching the Mass online, for our faith is a living relationship.

Haga clic aquí para: "Lea las lecturas del domingo en familia, y luego discuta lo que le dicen o las preguntas que le vienen a la mente. Luego ofrezca oraciones de peticiones para aquellos que le preocupan, entonces continua con la Oración del Señor." El Padre Steve recomienda esto mientras vea la Misa en línea, porque nuestra fe es una relación viva.

Instrucciones para comenzar a reabrir en la Parroquia del Sagrado Corazón

Daily and Weekend Outdoor Masses - both are now outside with no limit on attendance. Sign up here for weekend Mass to save time:

1. Anyone who is in a high-risk category should not attend.

   1. People over the age of 65

   2. People with pre-existing health conditions that would make them vulnerable.

2. Before attending everyone should make a brief health evaluation, including taking their temperature. Do not attend if you have:

   1. - A temperature above 100.4 F

   2. - Cough or sore throat

   3. - Shortness of breath

   4. - Recent loss of smell or taste

   5. - Chills

   6. - New muscle aches

   7. - Gastrointestinal upset and diarrhea Anyone who is experiencing any of these symptoms must not attend.

3.  Mass is outdoors at the church, on the lawn between the church and social hall, at the usual summer times (4:30 pm Saturday, 8:30 & 11 am Sunday. Starting July 5, we are changing to 10 am Mass instead of 11 because of the heat).

4. If the weather is bad, and there are 35 people or less, we will have Mass under tents on the lawn. If there are more than 35, ten people will be allowed inside the church, the rest may watch the service in their cars on their phones, and ministers will bring Communion to them.

5. Masks are required for everyone. Since it isn’t safe for children under two to wear them, we ask you to keep active babies/toddlers home for now. Small babies who mostly sleep are fine.

6. Please bring your own lawn chairs and masks. Households will be spaced at least six feet apart.

7. We will have some masks and chairs available.

8. We will have the big tent on the patio, and some canopies set up. You may bring your own canopy.

9. Everyone will use hand-sanitizer upon arrival.

10. If you haven't signed up online for weekend Mass we will take your name and contact information if we don't have it. For daily Mass, we will write down the names. If someone at that service comes down with the virus within two weeks, we will know who to contact. The records will be shredded after 30 days.

11. Receiving Communion: To receive Communion, please stand in place. A volunteer will bring hand sanitizer for you to use. Then hold your top hand out flat to receive the host, and wait until the minister moves on to the next group before moving your mask to consume the host.

The 4:30 pm Saturday Mass and the Daily Masses are live-streamed. The 8:30 am Sunday Mass has a Spanish reading and hymn. We will continue to translate Fr. Steve’s homilies into Spanish.

Indoor services, including Thursday Adoration and Friday rosary, limit of ten people - Please see numbers 1 and 2 above, they apply to indoor services also:

Bishop Daly and Governor Inslee have allowed us to begin celebrating the Eucharist and holding other services with a limited number of people present. Because of the size of our church and the limited airflow we will begin allowing 10 people other than those ministering to attend Adoration and the rosary. This allowance is not declaring that attending Mass or services is ‘safe.’ There is still a risk of contracting the coronavirus and so the following safety measures must be observed:

1. Everyone attending must wear a face mask. 

2. When entering the church use hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizer will also be placed in the main aisle to be used prior to receiving Communion.

3. Those not in the same household must sit at least six feet apart.

4. We will note the names of those attending each service. See number 10 above.

5. We will sanitize all commonly touched surfaces before and after services.

Both Pullman Regional Hospital and the WSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital are asking for cloth masks. And, you may want to make personal masks to wear in indoor public spaces. These protect others, as long as social distancing is also practiced. If you need supplies for mask making  please contact Mary Sutherland or call the office at 509-432-4832 (we can listen to messages remotely).

Pullman Regional Hospital COVID-19 Fund Site This page has a list of many things the hospital needs, and links to how to make their preferred type of cloth mask.

The Veterinary Teaching Hospital is still open for emergency and critical care. Doctors and staff need protection when working closely together.  To donate, please leave the masks in a plastic bag at the front door of the VTH, 205 Ott Rd, Pullman, WA 99164. Call 509-335-0711 so they will know they are there and go outside to pick them up!

Here are links supplied by the Vet School for making various types of masks:
Pullman Regional Hospital video instructions - sewing machine needed.
New York Times mask making page - several types of varying difficulty.
Very clear video for making two types of masks. One can be hand sewn.

Please respond to the 2020 Census if you haven't already done so. You can respond by mailing back the paper questionnaire sent to your home or by going to http://www.2020census.gov or calling 844-330-2020 (Eng.), 844-468-2020 (Span.). The Census “will determine Congressional representation, inform hundreds of billions in federal funding each year, and provide data that will impact communities for the next decade” (Census 2020 website). See this link to 50 Ways Census Data is Used on our homepage, There are still census jobs available in Pullman, mostly for enumerators, for $16/hour. The job does not make people ineligible for food assistance programs. They go to residences and assist people who haven't completed the census yet. Right now the plan is to knock and drop due to COVID 19. Any PPE (masks, gloves, etc) are provided by the Census. All applications are online at: 2020census.gov/jobs
