LITURGICAL
CHANGES
Please remember the changes that have been made at the Mass in order
to help us celebrate the Eucharist with more reverence. First,
before receiving Communion to nod your head, as a sign of reverence
and understanding of what's taking place. Second, the Sign of Peace
is to be exchanged only with those around us and no victory sign to
the community.
