September 30, 2020 UPDATE

Pursuant to State of Michigan Executive Orders 183 and 185, all non-liturgical parish activities are permitted (with the pastor’s approval) provided they: Practice social distancing, regular cleaning, and face-coverings are worn. Maintain the following capacity restrictions:

• Indoor events for no more than 20% seating capacity (for pre-arranged seating venues like gyms) or 20 people / 1000 sq. ft. for other indoor venues. No non-liturgical events are permitted for more than 500 people.
• Outdoor events for no more than 30 people / 1000 sq. ft.

Other parish activities that have been deemed most essential (religious education, youth ministry, and RCIA) are permitted and should follow the guidelines published by the Department of Catholic Schools found here. Requirements for liturgical activities remain unchanged and should follow the liturgical guidelines found here. It is good for parishes to reopen chapels of Eucharistic Adoration (if they are able) provided they follow liturgical guidelines
