Welcome Back to Mass
As of April 11, Catholics are obligated to attend Mass unless they are in one of the following groups:
- Those 65 years of age or older
- Those at risk for severe illness due to underlying medical conditions as described by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
- Those who care for the sick, homebound, or infirmed
- Those women who are pregnant
- Those who cannot be accommodated at Mass because the church was at safe-distancing capacity
- Those who are sick or came in contact with someone with COVID-19/flu are obligated to stay home and are therefore excused
More information can be found at https://www.dio.org/backtomass.
You don't need to sign up to attend Mass, but our standard safety precautions still apply at each church.
