UPDATED AUGUST 9, 2021: As you know, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced a change to its mask-wearing guidance and now advises that fully vaccinated persons wear a mask in indoor public places, in areas of the country with “substantial and high” transmission of COVID-19. Because all of the territory of the Fall River Diocese lies in these areas, the Diocese is strongly encouraging all parishioners to follow the CDC guidance and wear a mask while attending Mass or other liturgical celebrations. This is particularly important for anyone with a weakened immune system, or at risk because of age or underlying medical condition, or someone who is unvaccinated. The recent uptick in virus transmission is a reminder that the pandemic has not yet passed, and continued vigilance is required. Thank you for your collective commitment to the overall good and health of the parish community.
