Vestry Update on Covid19 Safety Protocol

At the March 21st, 2022, Vestry meeting the members reviewed the St. James Covid19 policies, as they have done monthly since the pandemic began in March 2020. In light of the low level of community covid transmission, the continuing decrease in our local community cases of the coronavirus, our highly vaccinated St. James community, and following the CDC guidelines, as of April 1st, 2022, mask wearing will be optional within the St. James building. The Rector and Vestry will continue to monitor the level of community transmission of Covid19, be alert to variant spikes, and they are prepared to implement changes in our policy at any time, in order to protect the health of our most vulnerable members. Per the CDC guidelines, those who are at risk of illness due to age, health conditions, or have suppressed immune systems are encouraged to wear masks while inside with groups. The Vestry will revisit our Covid19 safety protocols each month at their meeting. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Vestry members or the Rector.
