Parish COVID-19 Precautions
-
Anyone attending Mass, if fully vaccinated may wear a mask at their discreation.
We are asking that you please wear a mask to protect our children who can not be vaccinated and others who are vulnerable. Current guidlines recommend
wearing a mask indoors when in a group setting if you are able.
Please be charitable and remember the comfort and care of everyone attending -
many are still nervous about returning.We are all now obliged to participate in Mass on Sundays and Holy Days.
The dispensation for the Diocese of Lansing was lifted at Pentecost.
The first precept of the Church is “You shall attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation and rest from servile labor” (Catechism #2042; see Canon 1247). This is a call for us to sanctify the Lord’s Day by worshiping God in the Christian assembly and by resting “from those works and activities which could impede such a sanctification of these days” (Catechism #2042). This is a serious responsibility on the part of all the Faithful People of God “unless excused for a serious reason (for example, illness, the care of infants) or dispensed by their own pastor” (Catechism #2181; see Canon #1245). Obviously, if it is impossible to fulfill this obligation, then it is not binding. When in doubt, speak with your pastor.
