Bishop Mark is permitting parishes to sponsor fish lunches/dinners this Lent, but only in the format of take-out service. There is to be no indoor dining, according to his directives, and anyone who assists in food preparation and serving must be screened by temperature check. All workers must wear masks and gloves and practice physical distancing. Patrons should not enter the building to place their order or to receive their order, the Bishop added. Arrangements should be made for this to occur outdoors
The following is a summary of fish lunches/dinners and other take-out food sales planned throughout the diocese.
