2/22/22: The Diocese of Wilmington has discontinued all previous COVID-19 guidance in DE and the Eastern Shore of MD effective 2/15/22 in light of easing of restrictions in both states. SMM will continue to sanitize common areas and have hand sanitizers available at entrances. We support a welcoming environment for those members of our parish who wish to wear masks. To read the full update, with the exceptions listed, visit our COVID Guidance page.
Our approach: to have a safe and gradual reopening, making changes as needed, ensuring the best practices are utilized. Phase 1 began when we opened our doors again on 6/4/20, with additional daily masses added 7/14/20. After consulting with several groups & individuals, SMM Parish began Phase 2 on Saturday 8/1/20 which included the addition of more daily masses as well as more weekend masses, which is our current schedule.
