General Dispensation from the Obligation to Attend Mass has been lifted
The dispensation of the Sunday and Holy Day obligation has been lifted. The reinstatement of the obligation to attend Mass begins this weekend. Full in-person participation of the Sunday Eucharist is welcomed, which is the source and summit of our Catholic faith (cf. Code of Canon Law, canon 1246-1247 and Catechism of the Catholic Church, n.2180).
This does not apply to those who are ill, have reason to believe they have been exposed recently to the coronavirus, or any other serious or contagious illness. Anyone confined to a hospital, home or nursing facility, having a serious underlying health condition will continue to have dispensation.
Please consult with Father Alain if you have questions regarding your obligation to attend Mass.
