General

• Dispensation from Sunday Obligation. ​ A  general dispensation will remain in effect.
• Risk. There is still a risk for anyone who attends a public Mass, even with the best health practices and strict social distancing.
• Limited attendance and social distancing. Families are asked to remain in their family group and maintain a six foot separation from others. Be prepared to wear a mask.
• Travel. Do not travel to another area to attend Mass.
• ​Patience. This is a sad and unfortunate way to celebrate Sunday Mass. Please remember the sacrifices we make are in the best interest of everyone.
