We are recruiting Lectors, EMHCs and Hospitality Ministers. To serve as a Lector or Eucharistic Minister, volunteers must already be trained and commissioned to serve as Lector or EMHC. Anyone can volunteer to be a Hospitality Minister. All must meet the current safety criteria for serving at Mass. All will receive required Archdiocesan Covid-19 Safety Training prior to serving at Mass. For more info, contact Paul Dolejsi

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO KEEP CHURCH OPEN
 
Archbishop Etienne has advised that we can only keep our church open if we have volunteers to monitor and sanitize while the church is open. Volunteers would monitor visitor health and social distancing and then sanitize the space with lysol spray after they leave. Can you help keep Holy Rosary church open?
 
Volunteers need to be healthy, under 60 and not at a higher risk for severe illness per the guidelines below. Please review the guidelines below and let Paul know if you are still eligible to volunteer.  

If you are eligible, we will need to know when you are available. Can you do one hour AM or PM as assigned or per your availability? Can you do one hour each day? We want the church to be open 12:00noon-4:00pm. The volunteer monitor will need to use lysol spray to disinfect the area that a visitor occupies after they leave. Again, you must be healthy, under 65 and at no higher health risk.
 
People who are at higher risk for severe illness
COVID-19 is a new disease and there is limited information regarding risk factors for severe disease. Based on currently available information and clinical expertise, older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

Based upon available information to date, those at high-risk for severe illness from COVID-19 include:

• People aged 60 years and older;
• People who live in a nursing home or long-term care facility;
• Other high-risk conditions could include:

o   People with chronic lung disease or moderate to severe asthma;
o   People who have serious heart conditions;
o   People who are immune-compromised including cancer treatment;
o   People of any age with severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] >40) or certain underlying medical conditions, particularly if not well controlled, such as those with diabetes, renal failure, or liver disease might also be at risk;

People who are pregnant should be monitored since they are known to be at risk with severe viral illness, however, to date data on COVID-19 has not shown increased risk.
 
Many conditions can cause a person to be immune-compromised, including cancer treatment, bone marrow or organ transplantation, immune deficiencies, poorly controlled HIV or AIDS, and prolonged use of corticosteroids and other immune weakening medications.
