1. Chester County would have to enter into Pa.'s Yellow Phase before reopening church can even be considered. Update: Gov. Wolf is looking to move Chester County into the Yellow Phase on June 5th. Criteria 1 will be met.
2. The City of Coatesville would have to end its restriction on "gatherings of 4 or more unrelated persons in public places." Update: No change is this policy has been announced.
3. We would need the blessing of our Hierarchs. Update: Our Hierarchs are leaving it up to Parishes to come up with a re-opening plan that must be blessed by them.
We will continue to revisit this decision to determine when all three of these criteria have changed and will decide at that time if it is safe to re-open.
Some good news is that you can still buy our traditional ethnic food and make arrangements to pick-up on an appointment basis (see details below). We pray that the Holy Spirit keeps you safe in this unsettling time and apologize for any inconvenience.
