Covid-19
Northside Catholic Youth Ministry is blessed to provide in-person ministry for youth. We pray for all who have suffered because of Covid-19 and the decisions made by authorities to shut down schools, churches, and businesses. In our return to in-person ministry, we aim to provide a safe space for youth to grow in community with each other and in their relationship with God. That said, there remains a risk to participating in in-person activities. Participants knowingly and voluntarily assume this risk associated with participation.
For those who are not comfortable participating in-person at this time, we respect that decision. Last spring, we hosted virtual bible studies and we encourage those interested to reach out to us to form a group.
We ask that families and youth self-screen before attending any in-person activities. See below for self-screening questions.
Self-Screening
In order to provide a safe environment for all, please answer the following questions before attending any in-person youth ministry gatherings.
1. Does your student have any of the following symptoms not related to a known cause?
✔ A cough
✔ Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
✔ A fever of 100.4°F or higher or a sense of having a fever
✔ A sore throat
✔ Chills
✔ New loss of taste or smell
✔ Muscle or body aches
✔ Nausea/vomiting/diarrhea
✔ Congestion/running nose – not related to seasonal allergies
✔ Unusual fatigue
2. Does anyone in your household have any of the above symptoms not related to a known cause?
3. Has your youth been in close contact with anyone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19?
4. Has your youth had any medication to reduce a fever before coming to school?
If the answer to these questions above is “yes”, we ask that you the youth does not attend any in-person ministry activities.
