We will be following all CDC, diocesan and Indiana guidelines with respect to social distancing and good hygiene. If proper social distancing is not feasible, then masks must be worn. Also, we ask that you use the hand sanitizer when entering and leaving church through the main entrance.  

Bishop Doherty has posted a video on the diocesan website and noted that he will be celebrating Mass from Blessed Sacrament on Sundays at 8am with the Mass live-streamed for those who choose to refrain from attending a public Mass.

Please also consider making a Spiritual Communion during the Mass.  While this is not the same, God will provide you with grace through your desire to receive Jesus.

Should I stay home or come to Mass?
Everyone must carefully discern the best decision for themselves and their families. If you have a fever, cough, runny nose, or have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, please, in consideration of others, watch the livestreamed Mass from home at facebook.com/sldmfishers.  We also encourage “higher risk” parishioners to stay home and participate in the livestreamed Mass.  If you choose

We are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate all Masses publicly again even though we know Mass will feel different. Our goal is to keep our parishioners safe during these trying times.

MASKS WILL BE REQUIRED AT ALL MASSES AT ST. LOUIS DE MONTFORT,
PER GOVERNOR HOLCOMB'S MASK MANDATE.

The Fishers Health Dept. recently approved a mask mandate to go in effect 8 a.m. July 24.  The public may view the Public Health Order here. 

Starting July 24, every individual* in Fishers must properly wear a face-covering over their nose and mouth when in an indoor place other than a private residence or when outdoors in the event social distancing is not possible.  This means, if you are in the church or parish office for any reason, you will be required to wear a mask.
 
*Please note: The mask mandate does not apply to children less than 5 years old.

“The primary purpose of this order is intended to educate, encourage and persuade individuals to wear face-coverings,” a press release from the Fishers Health Dept. stated.

As requirements and policies continue to change and affect SLDM, we will keep you updated.  Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Questions? Visit the Fishers Mask Mandate FAQs page. 

Please read the following instructions carefully. If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact us at 317-842-6778. Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation!
 
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MASS
There will be only one entrance for Mass - the main entrance off Hague Rd. (under the carport)
Ushers will assist individuals and families to ensure appropriate accommodation with social distancing (6 feet of space between individuals and families).
Seating will be every other pew as marked with families allowed to sit together.
Because we have reduced seating capacity, if the church is full, we will not be able to accommodate anyone else.  Please arrive early.
Holy water fonts will be empty.
There will be no singing during this phase of the re-opening.
No books or materials in the pews, however, you may bring missals or prayer books from home.
Please minimize the use of restrooms. Water fountains will not be available.
We will have hand sanitizer available but ask that you please bring your own hand sanitizer if possible. Everyone should sanitize their hands upon entering the church and prior to receiving the Eucharist.
Collection envelopes and donations can be dropped off in the designated baskets as you enter or exit the church since collection baskets will not be passed around during Mass. You are also welcome to give electronically by visiting our Giving Page https://www.osvonlinegiving.com/131
 
What will happen when it is time to receive Holy Communion?
When it is time to receive Communion, you are welcome to receive the Sacred Host. Distribution of the Precious Blood is temporarily suspended.
Holy Communion will once again be distributed during Mass. 
The priest will give instructions regarding the process of lining up to receive Communion.
For the health and safety of everyone, we ask all parishioners to please receive Communion in the hand during this time of transition.
For anyone who prefers to receive on the tongue, please wait until the end of Communion distribution to come forward to receive.
 
Once Mass has ended, we will need to have everyone leave the church promptly so maintenance can begin cleaning and sanitizing the church and restrooms. Please do not congregate inside the church after Mass is finished.
 
We have returned to our normal schedule for the Sacrament of Penance.
Confessions in church will be offered on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5:00-5:50 p.m., following the 8 a.m. Saturday Mass, or by appointment.
 
The Parish Office has resumed normal business hours:
Mon.-Fri. 8:00 am-5:00 pm (Closed Noon-1:00 pm for Lunch)
 
The Adoration Chapel is now open!
We are so thankful we can visit Jesus in the chapel. Please consider being a regular adorer, as we are celebrating 25 years of perpetual adoration and would welcome more prayer warriors.  Contact Jerilyn at 317-997-2411 or jikunkel@yahoo.com.
 
God bless us all as we continue to grow in our faith.
