A Letter from Bishop Andrew Regarding the Flu Season
To all our parishioners:
“As a rather serious strain of influenza spreads throughout the United States this winter, it seems appropriate
at this time to put the following guidelines in place for the wellbeing of our parishioners. Our goal is to help
everyone stay healthy.
Any of our parishioners who are sick are reminded that they are not required to attend Sunday Mass. For their
own health and the health of parish family members, anyone who experiences a sore throat, cough or fever,
or other flue symptoms are encouraged to stay home.
Beginning immediately, parishes are asked to implement to the following procedures during all celebrations of
the Eucharist:
• For the duration of this flue season, we will suspend offering Holy Communion under both Species. The
Precious Blood of the Lord (Chalice) will no longer be distributed during Communion.
• For the duration of this flu season, adaptations should be made to the Sign of Peace which encourage
parishioners to greet one another in a manner that does not involve shaking hands.
• For the duration of this flue season, people should avoid holding hands during the recitation of the Lord’s
Prayer.
• For the duration of this flu season, all ministers of Holy Communion are to wash their hands with an alco-
hol-based anti-bacterial solution, such as Purell, before and after distributing Holy Communion. This re-
quires all churches to provide for this need at the credence table in the sanctuary.
Recognizing that these measures are drastic, we will resume our normative liturgical practices once this pub-
lic health threat has passed. Please properly inform your parishes of these measures, and ask for everyone’s
patience and cooperation in facilitating a healthy environment for our public worship to continue in a responsi-
ble fashion.
Sincerely in Christ,
Most Reverend Andrew E. Bellisario, C.M.
Bishop of Juneau”
