Missionaries of the Precious Blood

At Precious Blood Center and Precious Blood Renewal Center, the health of our staff and visitors is a priority. The number of infections from the latest variant has skyrocketed, and we need to do what we can to prevent people from getting seriously ill. The evidence indicates that those who are fully vaccinated can still contract the virus, but the resulting symptoms are generally mild and not severe enough to warrant hospitalization. Those who are not vaccinated are at much higher risk, and make up the bulk of people needing hospitalization due to the virus. Therefore, to be morally responsible for safeguarding the health of everyone, we will require that anyone participating in group events on the Precious Blood Center campus be fully vaccinated, as indicated by a valid proof of vaccination card. We will continue to follow CDC guidelines regarding masks and social distancing. If for any reason we cannot determine whether or not people are vaccinated and boosted, the gathering(s) will either be canceled or shifted to a virtual format. This applies to Renewal Center gatherings and daily Mass in the chapel.
