Dispensation from the Obligation to attend Mass
Effective Friday, July 16, 2021 Archbishop Sample rescinds the dispensation from the obligation to attend Holy Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation. Canon Law still allows those who are vulnerable, sick, or who have other grave reasons, to miss Holy Mass if necessary. Those unable to attend the Sunday Eucharist for such reasons are asked to honor the Lord in another way that day by watching a live-streamed Mass, praying the rosary, reading sacred Scripture, or otherwise setting aside time to be with the Lord.
General Principles: All indoor liturgical celebrations and faith gatherings are allowed to take place without capacity limitations, social distancing, sign-up systems, or segregation between those vaccinated and those unvaccinated.
