IN PERSON SERVICES:
We are very much looking forward having everyone join together in person again. While St. John's is no longer enforcing strict COVID protocols, we ask that you use common sense and be considerate of others by not attending in person if you are not feeling well. In view of the recent uptick in COVID cases, we ask that you please do not come to St. John's unless you can answer "no" to the following 3 questions:
Are you feeling ill today?
Have you tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 14 days?
Have you been in close contact with anyone with COVID-19 in the past 14 days?
We appreciate your consideration and cooperation.
