Archdiocese Modification of Safety Practices Regarding COVID-19

WOODBRIDGE, CT - Our Lady of the Assumption Parish shared the current practices in the church bulletin.

FROM THE ARCHDIOCESE OF HARTFORD

Modification of Safety Practices Regarding COVID-19 Effective Wednesday, June 9, 2021

As the situation continues to develop, the time has come to modify somewhat the directives that the churches of the Archdiocese of Hartford have been operating under as concerns COVID-19.

Effective Wednesday, June 9, 2021, for those who are vaccinated, wearing masks will now be optional while at Mass, at other liturgies, and at any indoor or outdoor events held at our churches.

Those who remain unvaccinated should continue to wear masks, with particular attention being given to the safety of young, unvaccinated children.

Also, for now, ministers who are distributing Holy Communion should continue to follow the directives that have been previously issued, including wearing a mask and sanitizing prior to distribution.
