St. Elizabeth Church

Coronavirus Exposure at St. Elizabeth School! Dear St. E’s parish family, I was notified late today that a member of our St. Elizabeth School community has tested positive for coronavirus. As a result, Fr. Stefan, myself, and our entire parish staff have been potentially exposed and are under instructions to self-isolate until this Friday, March 27. At that time two weeks will have passed since our last potential exposure. Happily, none of us has developed any symptoms yet. This potential exposure to staff means that our church has also been potentially contaminated by the virus, and I regret to inform you that we are closing our church to public access until further notice. Please find below the communication that went out to our school community. And please pray for us and an end to this pandemic. With kind personal regards and assurance of my continued prayers for you, I am Sincerely in Christ, Msgr. Bill Parent

As directed by Archbishop Gregory for the entire Archdiocese of Washington, there will be no public Masses until March 28 as a precaution against further transmission of the coronavirus. Archbishop Gregory has dispensed all Catholics in the Archdiocese of Washington from the obligation to attend Mass during this period. https://adw.org/coronavirus/
