• Effective June 19, 2021, the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass & Holy Days of Obligation has been lifted for Catholics in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Those who have serious illness or health conditions are dispensed from the obligation. • All liturgical celebrations and other religious services are allowed to take place indoors without capacity limitations, social distancing, and/or prearranged “reservation” systems. • Masks are not required for fully vaccinated individuals outdoors or indoors for religious services. Masks are required for unvaccinated individuals outdoors when social distancing is not possible, and at all times indoors. Parishes must provide information and/or post a sign at entrances indicating that parishioners must wear a facemask if they are unvaccinated. Parishes are not to verify who is and who is not vaccinated. • Parishes can open for prayer group meetings, ministerial gatherings, and social gatherings provided that sensible public health precautions are observed. • For now, masks and social distancing are required for employees and volunteers if they are working in the church during Mass. • Parishes are not required to sanitize after each liturgy or service but instead should observe sensible public health precautions. • For now, Holy Communion will be offered in the form of bread. Communion on the hand is strongly encouraged. Thank you.
