As our In-person Mass Counts Increase, we ask for your help with the following:
 

St. Andrew Church requires all congregants* 
wear masks (and/or FULL face shields)
at all times in the Church and all parish buildings. 

*Encouraged, but NOT required, for children ages 2-4 

• Please Move to the Middle of the longer pews when possible to allow for maximum seating for all.

• Please remember to refrain from singing. 

• After Mass, when exiting the building, you may use either the IN lane or the OUT lane, to help maintain proper distancing and to avoid backups in the gathering space.

• We will continue Live Streaming of Masses on Sunday, Monday, Thursday, and Friday. 

• Thank you all for your continued support and for following the current protocols to keep everyone safe.​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Thank you to all of you for doing your part to "flatten the curve".   By sheltering-in-place, we are giving our healthcare system and healthcare providers the time, space, and grace to make the difference.

Dear St. Andrew Family,

We are very aware of the dramatic increase in new cases of Coronavirus in Washtenaw county as well as across the state and nation.  Even our very own pastor was not immune from contracting the virus (he has since fully recovered). As such, we are advising parishioners to be extraordinarily careful and make decisions that are in the best interest of your own safety.
 
We have been in communication with the Washtenaw County Health Department about this situation and are following their guidance. If, in this period of extraordinary contagion spread, you decide to stay home and join us for Mass online that is perfectly understandable. We will be continuing all of our safety protocols for in-person attendance to try and keep you safe while at church, but we also need you to do your part.  
 
Health professionals continue to advise that If you have even the most minor of symptoms, you should take them seriously and not come to church.  You are in our prayers and we continue to put all of this in the hands of Beloved Lord Jesus and through the intercession of our Blessed Mother!
