Reinstatement of Sunday Mass Obligation effective the weekend of June 19 and 20, 2021

Here in our part of the Lord’s vineyard we have been blessed to receive such effective vaccines, and to have in our state the nation’s second highest vaccination rate of any state. The resulting lowest rate of Covid infection and transmission in about 15 months is evidence of that. Cardinal Seán, starting on the weekend of June 19/20, is thus lifting the dispensation from participation in Sunday Mass that has been in place since the beginning of the pandemic last year. (The Cardinal’s full statement is here) It will be good for us to be together again more fully as a community than we have been in a long time! Remember that everyone’s safety has been and remains the highest priority at St. Anselm’s. Thus, we will continue to have a masked and socially distanced section for indoor liturgies, and the 11am Sunday mass will continue to be outdoors. The livestream of the 5pm Saturday mass will continue for those whom Cardinal Seán reminds us are not obliged to attend in-person: “This obligation does not apply to those who are ill; those who have been recently exposed to COVID or any other communicable illness; those who are confined to their homes or to hospitals or other facilities due to illness, infirmity, frailty, or age; and those who are not yet able to be vaccinated, due to age or any health consideration.” See you at church! “Enter his gates with thanksgiving, his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name; good indeed is the Lord, His mercy endures forever,” (Psalm 100:4-5)

Our first event is a Welcome Back Coffee Hour on the lawn outside, weather permitting on Sunday June 27th at the end of the 11am Mass. Please join us, volunteer to help out (sign up below), and bring a friend!
