Inviting people back to church

Physical restrictions caused by the pandemic have been lifted and churches are able to resume full occupancy. 

“As a community of faith we have been praying for this moment during these many long months of the pandemic. Now our ability to be present personally at Mass is a blessed reality,” the bishop says in the pastoral letter. 

Bishop McManus also restores the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation, effective June 6, the feast of Corpus Christi.
