Mass Schedule is Unaffected by new Yellow Zone Restrictions
As of today Northern Manhattan has been designated a Yellow Zone under NY’s COVID-19 safety rules.
This new designation primarily affects dining establishments. Houses of Worship are still permitted to operate at 50% capacity. There will therefore be no changes to the Shrine’s Mass schedule, though we have opted to cancel our Wednesday night music meditation for the time being.
-
We note that the Shrine has chosen to operate at a maximum of 25% capacity throughout the pandemic. We have done this because we wish to keep everyone as safe as possible.
-
We continue to leave the upper windows open where possible and to open the lower doors to improve air flow.
-
We continue to ask everyone to sanitize their hands upon entering the building.
-
We continue to require all visitors to wear a face mask that coves nose and mouth. This is a NY State requirement.
-
We continue to use 6′ distancing in our pews and to sanitize the entire facility after each Mass.
