St. Isidore the Farmer

Following the Governor's order and Bishop Duca's August 4th letter to the faithful, masks are again required for Mass. As an added precaution, considering how contagious the Delta variant is, we are also roping off every other pew again. Please sanitize your hands as you arrive and as you leave Mass, and maintain social distancing when inside the church. Alcohol wipes are available in the narthex for wiping the pew area where you sit.

In his letter, Bishop Duca wrote, "It is also important to note that because of this surge, some people will feel uncomfortable attending Mass. Clergy in the Diocese of Baton Rouge already possess the faculty to dispense the faithful of the obligation to attend Sunday Mass in individual cases."

Please, if you have any symptoms that could be Covid-related, or have had recent close contact with an infected person, do not come to church. If you have had Covid or have been in quarantine, please do not attend until you have tested negative for Covid and have been cleared by your doctor.

If you have not been vaccinated, or have pre-existing conditions that increase your risk, or if you live with or care for someone who is especially vulnerable, please carefully weigh the risks of attending Mass.

In Christ,

 Father Frank Bass, Pastor
