COVID 19 Update - May 23, 2021
Diocese issues updated COVID policies and guidance for parishes & offices
On May 29, Massgoers in Western Massachusetts will be able to see the smiles of our fellow parishioners once again.
Father Piotr Calik, vicar general of the Springfield Diocese, has issued a memo to parishes and diocesan offices, announcing the full reopening of diocesan offices on June 14; and updated guidelines regarding masks and social distancing, effective May 29. The full article can be found here.
-
Vaccinated parishioners do not have to wear masks and can be seated anywhere in the church. We will operate under the honor system; no proof of vaccination will be required.
-
Dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass remains for the time being. The diocese is coordinating with the other Massachusetts dioceses a date to end the dispensation.
-
The reception of Holy Communion and the taking up of collections may return to their pre-COVID methods.
-
With regard to cleaning the churches with disinfectant, parishes are now only required to clean the churches once a day. Parishes with more than one Mass in a day are not required to clean the church between each Mass. This is effective immediately. However, if a parish has a report of someone having attended the church, who then tests positive for COVID, the parish is still required to deep clean.
-
Following state and local healthcare guidelines, parishes can resume all social and fundraising activities.
