Welcome to St. Ignatius, Hickory!

Dear Friends,
Welcome back!

We will be livestreaming Mass at 4:00 each Saturday on our Youtube channel.  If you miss it you can watch the recorded version.  Here's the link:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLaEAhGZpyDOp6mHyXVC8wg?preview

For your safety, your family's, your priests and community please do not come to Mass if: 

• You or your family members are ill
• You are concerned about your health
• You do not yet feel comfortable attending public gatherings
• The CDC recommends that people over 60 and people in vulnerable groups do not attend large gatherings at this time for their own safety

• Masks MUST be worn at all times.  (If anyone would like to donate masks that we can keep on hand in case someone forgets a mask that would be helpful.)
• The doors to the church will open 30 minutes prior to each Mass.
• Social Distancing must be observed.  Please follow the markings on the floor.
• All worship aids have been removed from the pews.
• There will be no congregational singing.
• The Sign of Peace will have no physical contact.
• No collection will be taken up at the Preparation of Gifts.  Offertory baskets will be in the back of the church.
• There will be two Communion Stations.  Directions will be given before Communion.
• Whether you are receiving Communion or not, you must leave the pew with everyone else and receive a blessing from the priest or deacon.  We do not want anyone climbing over other people in the pews.  Please practice social distancing while in line.  Follow the markings on the floor.
• Please follow the directions given for dismissal.  
• We're asking everyone to please leave immediately after you've been dismissed and not to linger in the narthex.  We need to sanitize the church for the next Mass.

We will have a table set up outside this weekend for you to return the baby bottles for Alpha's Glory and Birthright.

After 7:30 AM Mass Monday through Friday we ask that you exit immediately.  Our Maintenance staff needs to sanitize the church.  If you wish to pray the rosary the Historic Church is open.  

During the Covid-19 pandemic we are temporarily suspending First Friday confessions.
