Pentecost – and safety measures

We are happy to confirm that we are able to celebrate Holy Mass together again, starting with Pentecost – Sunday 31st May (9:30am).

Safety Measures

It is important that we observe the following safety measures: these measures continue to apply (updated 28th November 2020).

The Bishopric of Basel also recommends that you install the SwissCovid app [iPhone, Android].

  • 😷 Masks must be worn. They must cover both nose and mouth. (Please do not wear masks with a valve: these do not provide any protection for your fellow congregation members.)
  • Please keep a distance of 2m from all people who do not live in the same household as you.
  • Please avoid gathering within the Chapel – before, during, or after the service.
  • The chapel has a maximum capacity of 39 seats. Please sit only on the marked seats – one person per bench.
  • Use the entrance on the river/Reuss side of the chapel (on the right when facing the Altar).
  • Please exit using the door on the city side (when facing the altar: back left).
  • We will refrain from singing until further notice.
  • Peace greeting: we will either use “Namaste”, nod, or smile at each other.
  • Communion is received in silence, at your seat, on your hand. The dialogue “The Body of Christ” – “Amen”, will be spoken together, beforehand.
  • There are no confessions, until further notice.
