DISPENSATION FROM MASS IS OVER

as of the weekend of June 5 and 6, 2021.


Bishop Michael Fisher has officially ended the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass as of the weekend of June 5 and 6, 2021. We request that at all Masses and parish events, masks should continue to be worn upon entry and exit, and at any time when there is movement or a closeness to others, for instance, when the Communion procession forms. We will continue to observe social distancing guidelines during the celebration of Mass and other liturgies. If you have any questions, please call the office. Unfortunately there still should be no full choirs or hymnal. Congregational singing should still be discouraged, but those who do should wear their mask.
