December 21, 2020 Dear Brother Priests, I want you to know I am concerned for your health and safety, as well as the health and safety of your people. Please remind your parishioners that the dispensation from attending Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation remains in effect. In particular, please encourage your elderly parishioners and those already in poor health to remain at home. At this point, it will be safer to continue celebrating outdoor Masses. Please note that Los Angeles County Public Health strongly recommends that places of worship continue to hold services outdoors.
