Safety & Security

Protecting God’s Children program, is a mandated Archdiocesan program required of all volunteers and employees. Its purpose is for parishioners to be fully educated in the responsibility that adults have in protecting all of God’s children – including each other. A one-time class fulfills the requirement within the Archdiocese of Boston.

For all our volunteers who have not already taken this course, visit  www.virtus.org   Please contact Kim Silk at 978-686-4050 if you have questions.

The Archdiocese of Boston has lifted all mask and safe-distancing restrictions that were in place during the Covid pandemic.  However, Saint Michael Parish will extend our practice of offering pews on the Main Street side of the church for parishioner’s comfort until September 1, 2023.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

What is the parish doing to prevent the spread?

• We have hospitality ministers at all Masses to assist people in knowing where to sit and in moving about the church for Communion. 
• We have hand sanitizer available at the entrances of the church.
• We have a section of the church that is reserved for people who want to continue wearing masks and social distancing. 

We want everyone to feel welcomed and comfortable as they enter the church, so that their hearts are fully open to receive Jesus Christ who gives us the hope and the strength we need to endure our challenges.
