letter from fr. price concerning resumption of public massesBishop Spalding has given the parishes instruction to resume the celebration of public Masses this coming Monday, May 18. We are all hoping that things will start to return to normal soon, however for Assumption “normal” still means “tornado normal”. In addition to the challenges the storm has presented we must still implement several social distancing practices during the weeks ahead
At the outset it is important to remember that the Bishop’s dispensation for the Sunday obligation remains in force. Anyone who is in the category of vulnerability should continue to stay home on Sundays for the time being. There should be no problems for such people to attend the weekday Masses, but given our social distancing parameters, people with compromised health would still be at risk at larger gatherings.
The bishop has asked us to initially operate at 50% capacity, which in our two temporary chapels means we can only accommodate 50 people in Fr Bernard Hall and 100 people in Buddeke House.
At this point there will be no sign-up sheet for Mass. However if we arrive at the situation where there are more people than we can accommodate it might necessitate families signing up prior to Sunday Masses. Hopefully over the next few weeks we can stabilize our attendance and spread ourselves out over the four Sunday Masses. It is important to try to reserve places in Fr Bernard Hall for the Masses for people who find the stairs in Buddeke house to be difficult.
After four weeks, I will revisit the schedule and make any adjustments then.
Moving forward will not be easy and will require charity and consideration. The fundamental point remains we are moving forward, and that should be an occasion of joy for all of us!

CoVID-19 Update from the BIshop & Church of the assumption
PLEASE NOTE THE ADDITIONAL DISPENSATION TO ATTEND MASS EXTENSION TO JUNE 30, 2020 LETTER TO THE FAITHFUL AND DECREE FROM BISHOP J. MARK SPALDING. THE SUSPENSION OF PUBLIC SERVICES HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL MAY 18, 2020

WINTER WEATHER INFORMATION
With winter weather possible in the near future, I wish to communicate the procedure Assumption will follow in the event of inclement weather. Please be aware that as well as trying to keep our schedule as regular as possible, we need to also weigh the risks and safety of having parishioners travel to and around our facility in inclement weather. Many parishioners travel significant distances to attend Mass and that weighs heavily on my mind.
During weekdays if Metro Nashville schools are closed, Mass will be cancelled and the office will be closed.
On weekends, Saturday & Sunday, the situation will be a little harder to predict. Obviously, you will need to use your judgement as to if it is safe to travel from your home to Assumption. The local news & weather would be the first resource as to road conditions. If the newscast advises “ If you don’t have to be out on the roads, please stay home” please heed their advice. We do not have the resources for snow and ice removal and our gravel parking lot cannot be plowed. It is also unlikely that metro will plow side streets in time for Mass.
If there is snow and ice on a Sunday, it is dangerous to travel, the Sunday Obligation is commuted to the reading of the Mass readings & collect and the recitation of the family rosary for all families who are unable to make it to Mass safely.
If you need to contact the office please do so by email to lcooper@assumptionchurchnashville.org.
