Dear Saint Andrew Catholic Community Rev. Dan Pattee learned today, that he has tested positive for COVID19. Fr. Pattee was last in the parish on February 10. He was not experiencing any symptoms at that time. The church is sanitized following every Mass, and all diocesan Mass protocols have been followed.
The distribution of ashes on Ash Wednesday will be done slightly differently this year. To safeguard the heath of the faithful, Bishop Olson has instructed the priests of the Diocese to follow the guidelines issued by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.
