St. Thomas

Question: Father, I’m nervous about attending Mass with
the corona virus. Do we need to be at church?
Answer:  No, you’re not obligated to attend Sunday
liturgies at the moment. While we had been dispensed
from attending Masses through this month, Archbishop
Blair has extended that dispensation through November
28th. This means that it isn’t a sin to not attend public
worship during the pandemic. All people who are sick,
immune compromised, elderly, or have chronic health
issues are encouraged to stay home for now. We will
continue to livestream our Masses during the health
emergency. For those who will be coming to church, we
will still be following all contact precautions, and you will
need to register in advance online or by calling the rectory.
