With approval from Bishop Barber and the County of Alameda, we are now conducting outdoor Mass in the SJND Quad  (Sundays) and the daily Masses in the Basilica. While we understand that each parish is moving at its own pace in resuming in-person services, our team of advisors recommends that we start outdoors, which affords the greatest margin of safety.  We will be adding additional Masses over the coming weeks based upon demand.  Ushers, especially young people, will be needed to expand our Mass schedule.  If you feel called to help in this area please contact our office at ariku@aol.com.
 

Important:
1) Ushers will check you in and guide you to the seats/pews
2) sanitize hands before receiving Communion
3) Social distancing of 6 feet or more to be observed
4) Masks or face coverings are required at ALL TIMES while on the Basilica Grounds
5) no gathering especially in a group, after Mass and leave the facility immediately after Mass

The dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Masses continues until further notice. The Faithful are encouraged to continue with Livestream and those who are at high risk (those elderly or have underlying health conditions) are to continue to stay home or take advantage of our drive through communion.
