Bishop Lifts General Dispensation from Sunday Mass
effective on Pentecost Sunday, May 22-23 2021
(see bulletin, pages 2-3)
UPDATE as of May 13 regarding Masks below
|
|
We have received communication from our Bishop in regards to the new CDC statement and the removal of masks for vaccinated people. Below is what the Bishop said regarding this matter:
"Given the new guidance from CDC, effective immediately, Bishop Estevez has approved that at all Masses in our parishes and missions we will no longer require the wearing of masks for fully vaccinated persons, nor will we require proof of vaccination or ask if persons are vaccinated. All other diocesan guidance remains in place."
|
|
As we prepare to gather for Mass either virtually or physically, reading the Sunday Scripture readings in advance will help prepare us in mind and heart to fully participate in the Mass. |
|
To read the Scripture for this weekend click Scripture.

"God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord."

A good way to just listen to the words is to close your eyes
and feel the Holy Spirit move.

Monday, May 17 at 12 pm ET/6 pm in Rome –
The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception has been chosen by the Holy See to lead the worldwide recitation of the Rosary on Monday, May 17, at 12 noon ET/6pm Rome time, in response to Pope Francis’ call for a “marathon” of prayer during the month of May “to ask for the end of the pandemic.”
Cardinal Wilton Gregory, Archbishop of Washington and Chairman of the National Shrine Board of Trustees, will prayerfully lead the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary from the Basilica’s Great Upper Church.
For those unable to attend in person, the recitation of the Rosary will be livestreamed at National Shrine and will be shared with the Holy See for transmission throughout the world.
Monsignor Walter Rossi, Rector of the Basilica, said, “It is an honor for us to participate in this important initiative of the Holy Father as he invites the world to offer this great Marian prayer. It is my hope that, through this monthlong worldwide praying of the Rosary, Our Blessed Mother will look favorably upon our pleas and present our great need before her Son, asking God, through her intercession, to bring an end to the pandemic and return our world to a form of normalcy.”
