COVID MASKS STAY (till 5-Jun)Q: You said that you are removing all restrictions. The very next point asks us to mask??? A: Our move to the green stage is postponed to 5-Jun. |
Memo from the Bishop's Office Diocese postpones moving to Green Stage Alleluia! Christ is Risen! We, your bishops, were privileged to commemorate Christ's Passion and glorious Resurrection this past weekend with parishes across our Diocese. Some of these celebrations, however, were sudden changes to our schedules. We found ourselves quickly adapting to emerging needs as Covid infections impacted many of our beloved clergy leaders. We are concerned for all those who have been affected by the pandemic and for those who are feeling ill at this time. We pray you feel better and get well soon!
Having said this, those parishes that have already done so for Easter, or were eager to do so for April 27, may proceed with Green Stage if they are comfortable and ready to do so. Please consult with your bishop and/or regional dean so that we are aware of your plans. As previously stated, we anticipate that many parishes will choose to make a staged, or phased, move to Green Stage, lifting restrictions slowly as feels comfortable. Please continue to use our Q&A email address if you have any queries or concerns. May the Risen Christ bless us all with great joy. The Bishop's Office |
