For those who have not had an opportunity to partake of Holy Communion within the last 4-6 weeks, there are “Communion-Only” registration spots that you can register for.
You would wait within your car in the Church Parking lot near the end of the Liturgy, and follow the instructions below in order to have a safe, respectful and organized experience.
Important Instructions:

- Travel to Church and arrive within 30 minutes of the end of Liturgy
(you must have a Communion-Only registration in order to come) - Park your car on the North side (far side) of the Church Parking Lot
- Remain in your vehicle, staying parked at least 2m away from other cars
- Pray the Prayer Before Communion (in Coptic Reader under Agpeya)
- Watch the end of the Liturgy on your mobile if possible (within your car)

Carefully follow the following steps when it is time to enter:
- Enter by the North side door (near the elevator), family by family
- Stay safe, keeping masks on, staying 2m away from other families

If you have not had an opportunity to confess, be sure to do so by contacting one of the Fathers by phone in advance, before coming to receive Communion.
If multiple family members are coming to receive Communion, each member must be registered.
If you register for a Communion-Only service, but are unable to attend, please cancel your registration immediately.
