Dear Saint Stephen the Martyr parishioners and families:
This afternoon the Douglas County Health Department issued a “corrected and updated” Mask Requirement Prevention Order indicating those “participating in a religious service” are not required to wear face coverings. Therefore, St. Stephen will abide by the updated order and allow parishioners to attend Mass without face coverings. However, we strongly recommend and encourage the use of face coverings during Mass. St. Stephen students are required to wear face masks while attending school Mass during school hours.
St. Stephen will continue to comply with the Health Department prevention order that requires face coverings in our school and the balance of our buildings and offices. Thank you for your understanding.
