In light of our increasing number of hospitalizations and COVID cases, and the upcoming celebration of Christmas, this is a friendly reminder that the Diocese continues to strongly encourage masks at all indoor liturgies and other events, especially for those who are unvaccinated and without natural immunity, as a small sacrifice that can assist our health care professionals and help all members of our community feel comfortable worshiping together.
