Effective June 12, 2021, Bishop Kevin Vann is discontinuing the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass with the following exceptions:
-
Those who are currently ill
-
Those have a fever or exhibit flu-like symptoms
-
Those who have good reason to think they might be asymptomatic of a contagious illness – such as COVID or influenza.
In those cases where a person may not be dispensed or excused from the obligation to attend Mass in one of the above categories but may have a significant fear or anxiety of becoming ill by being at Mass should speak to Fr. Eugene who may grant a dispensation in individual cases.
Keep in mind that those who are dispensed or excused from the obligation to attend Mass must still fulfill the divine command to keep holy the Lord’s Day and are encouraged to do so by participating in a livestream broadcast of the Sunday Mass, spending time in prayer, reading the Bible, praying the Rosary, and/or meditating on the Lord’s passion, death & resurrection.
