COVID Precautions Policy
St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church
Passed by Vestry 9/15/21
|
Effective immediately, in an effort to keep the people we serve as safe as possible during the continuing pandemic, and following the guidance of the CDC and the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego’s Public Health Taskforce, all volunteers and staff members interacting with the public and/or children must either show proof of vaccination or provide the results of a weekly COVID test indicating a negative outcome. This documentation must be provided to the lay leader or staff member responsible for the ministry area when requested.
Additionally, under the direction of the Bishop, face masks are required to be worn by anyone over the age of two at all times when indoors on St. Andrew’s campus or at parish-sponsored events.

Meals Needed
Occasionally
|
One of the ways we take care of each other at St. Andrew's is by providing a meal or two for a family experiencing a health crisis or moving through a tragedy. If you're willing to be on a rotation of people to do so, please email the office.
