New Masking Requirements for Distribution of Holy Communion and for Ushers (as of 8/6/2021):
As previously announced, the bishops have reinstated the obligation to attend Mass in person. However, by longstanding Church law, this obligation does not apply to those who are:
As an act of charity, anyone who believes they might have COVID-19 or one of its variants should stay home.
Those who are legitimately excused from Mass on Sundays and Holy Days are encouraged to spend time in prayer, meditating on the death and Resurrection of the Lord, reading the sacred Scriptures, and uniting themselves to Christ. They are also encouraged to investigate the numerous options to view broadcasts and streams of Mass, which are continuing across the state.
While masks are not currently mandated, each parishioner is strongly encouraged to make a responsible decision about the use of masks and vaccinations following in the examples of all Pennsylvania Bishops, Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI who have all been vaccinated for the common good.
Our coronavirus mitigation efforts will continue to evolve, based on the most up-to-date public health information. Each bishop will continue to communicate with his faithful as changes become necessary.
