- Holy Communion may be received on the hand or tongue in the center aisle from a deacon or priest, with “hand only” reception available from a Eucharistic Minister stationed on the left or right sides of the center aisle.
- Parishioners are responsible for maintaining a distance of 3 feet between you/your family and others.

We do expect the policies of both the Diocese of Atlanta and of Mary Our Queen to continue to change as time goes on. We will keep you informed of the changes as they occur. Know that we greatly appreciate your understanding and support as we return to the time where we will once again have an open Church without the restrictions the COVID pandemic have forced upon us.
