DETROIT (CNS) Citing the “essential and central nature of the eucharistic sacrifice” in the life of the Catholic Church, Detroit Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron Feb. 9 announced the general dispensation from Sunday Mass for Catholics in the Archdiocese of Detroit will expire March 13.
However, while the general dispensation which relieves all Catholics in the archdiocese from their moral obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and holy days is expiring, the archbishop said he will continue to grant “particular dispensations” to those in need, including those who are at high risk of COVID-19.
The Archdiocese of Detroit is urging Catholics to return to Sunday Mass and Holy Days starting March 13, when dispensation from the obligation will expire.
