As a reminder, Bishop Spalding has consistently encouraged people to protect their health as a priority in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. His dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days remains in place indefinitely in order to permit everyone to exercise prudent care over their health and well-being and offer charity toward others. Please note: Those who have an ac-tive ongoing illness (including infec-tion, flare of a chronic illness, etc.), anyone over the age of 65, those with a history of heart failure, lung disease, diabetes, ongoing malignancy, any immunosuppressive disorder, those on steroids or other immunosuppres-sive medications, those who have been advised by a health care profes-sional not to attend Mass, and those who live with anyone with any health vulnerability, are strongly encouraged to remain at home at this time and join us on-line or via television for Mass. Additionally, those who are worried that attending Mass would add undue stress or jeopardize their health or the health of a person with whom they live, are also encouraged to remain at home.
