11/13/2020 Governor's New Executive Order Does Not Apply to Churches
Catholic Sports/NVJCYO
Governor Northam’s Executive Order of 11/13/2020 does not apply to churches or schools.
All ministries at St. Joseph Catholic Church will continue in accordance with current guidelines. Please check with the director of your ministry for additional information regarding meetings and events.
The parish has and will continue to track Mass attendance and adjust as needed. St. Joseph will maintain a rigorous cleaning and sanitizing schedule.
The Executive Order reinforces measures already in place. Masks and social distancing must always be observed.
Parishioners and visitors must follow guidelines regarding health self-checks. Individuals who are CV-19 positive, those who are awaiting test results, or those who have been exposed or caring for someone positive must stay home.
Fall 2020 – As we find ourselves facing the challenges of a pandemic and the reintegration/reopening of the Church and school, we will not have parish sports this fall. As you may know, the Diocese of Arlington has decided not to have certain sports in the fall as of this date. We thank you for your respect and understanding of this decision.Peace and good!
Father Tom and Mrs. Rutledge
