Dear St. John the Evangelist Parishioners:

I have been notified that an individual, who most recently visited the parish on Sunday 17 January 2021 and was present prior to the start of Mass, has tested positive for COVID-19. The individual is receiving the appropriate medical care.

Following diocesan protocols, I immediately notified the local health department and diocesan officials to make them aware of the situation.

Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and diocesan guidelines, the spaces occupied by this individual will close for an airing out and will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

Out of care and concern for every staff member and parishioner, I urge you to contact your primary health care provider immediately if you feel ill.

Please join me in praying for this individual and all who are affected by COVID-19 at this time.

Peace. Fr. Rolo
