Archdiocese of Washington, Archdiocese of Baltimore, and the Dioceses of Arlington, Richmond, Wheeling-Charleston, and Wilmington joint statement on lifting the Dispensation of the Sunday and Holy Days Mass obligation and reinstating that obligation beginning on Saturday, June 26 and Sunday, June 27, 2021 Click here. We welcome and encourage the Faithful to return to full in-person participation of the Sunday Eucharist, the source and summit of our Catholic faith (cf. Code of Canon Law, canon 1246-1247 and Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 2180). This obligation does not apply to those who are ill; those who have reason to believe that they were recently exposed to the coronavirus, another serious or contagious illness; those who are confined to their home, a hospital, or nursing facility; or those with serious underlying health conditions. One should consult his or her local pastor if questions arise about the obligation to attend Mass (Canon 1245 and the Catechism of the Catholic Church n. 2181).
