Coronavirus Information and Resources
As many are already aware, Governor Northam held a press conference to announce new statewide measures to contain COVID-19.  The link to Governor Northam’s overview is below:
https://www.governor.virginia.gov/newsroom/all-releases/2020/december/headline-886185-en.html
At this point, it does not appear that there is any change to our weekend liturgies or Christmas liturgies.  However, Governor Northam stated that social gatherings will be limited to 10 individuals, down from the current cap of 25 people.  Once we have the opportunity to review the details from the Commonwealth of Virginia, to include any impact to us related to gatherings, we will update you accordingly.  The changes announced are effective Monday, December 14, 2020 and will remain in full force until January 31, 2021.
