The general dispensation from the Sunday obligation is no longer in effect. Only those who are considered high risk (i.e., those who are immune deficient, elderly, etc.) or living in communities with stricter protocols are dispensed. This dispensation will remain in effect until further notice. We will continue to live stream the Saturday 4:30pm Vigil and Sunday 11am Mass for those who are unable to attend in person.
Until the case counts begins to drop again, the following is also implemented.
