Archbishop Vigneron, in his concern for the health and well being of members of the faithful who are susceptible to the dire consequences of contracting the virus, has extended the dispensation from attending Sunday Mass to Ash Wednesday, February 17th
. We will have to wait and see how the pandemic progresses and see if the archbishop will further extend the dispensation. The archbishop, however, asks the faithful who are venturing out – shopping for items that are non-essential, going out to dine in restaurants, gathering with family and friends, etc. – to seriously consider returning to the celebration of public Mass. The dispensation applies to persons who continue to live sheltered in their homes. If you are venturing out, please venture to Mass as well. We would love to see you.
