November 13 Letter: A Coronavirus Update

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 make the decision 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 in order 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!

-Fr. John & the St. Andrew staff
