Catholic parishes in the Archdiocese of Portland may accommodate as many people as possible in both church buildings and satellite locations, while strictly maintaining 6 foot distancing, up to 50% of the fire marshal’s maximum capacity for the space. Please note that few if any parishes will be able to reach 50% of capacity due to seating configurations and church layout while observing the 6 foot social distancing requirement. Masking continues to be required and cleaning protocols should still be maintained. Sign-ups for Masses are no longer required but parishes may need to maintain a sign-up system to control parishioner numbers and expectations. However, sign-ups are left to the pastor’s discretion. In any case, contact information for Mass participants is no longer required and does not need to be maintained for 60 days.
