Our Diocese of Knoxville, Bishop Richard F. Stika has issued new directives regarding meetings and gatherings on diocesan and parish property. The new procedures are in effect and come as federal, state, and local health authorities continue to monitor the coronavirus pandemic.

The new procedures allow for meetings, which include a maximum of 50 participants with the stipulation that safe distancing remains in place and that masks be worn by all participants at all times while on church property. Screening of attendees is required before meetings begin, and attendance lists are required.

Additionally, the directives call for the continued use of online streaming and computer-based conferencing when possible.  

If you are a high-risk or concerned for you or your loved one's health, and/or are not feeling well, we invite you to take advantage of our livestream Masses offered on our parish YouTube channel (see Home tab).  

Below you will find our LINKS of our special procedures that are in place for our in-person Masses.  At this time, we are keeping our attendance at 50% capacity.  Please contact our office at 735-0484 or send us a email if you have any further questions (see tab Contact Us).
