Decree Lifting Dispensation
The requirement to return to Mass was postponed in the Diocese of Dallas.
In light of the recent surge in COVID cases and concern about the spread of the Delta variant, Bishop Edward Burns has postponed reinstating the requirement for Catholics to attend Mass in person in the Diocese of Dallas. The dispensation which waived this requirement had been scheduled to end on Sunday, August 15, 2021. Masses will continue to take place; however, the obligation to attend remains lifted.
According to Bishop Burns, the decision will be reviewed frequently as more information becomes available. “This decision has not been made lightly as we all desire to get beyond the ongoing effects of this pandemic. We will continue to monitor this situation closely and as soon as we are safely able to do so, we will get back to normal.”
Bishop Burns went on to remind those who decide to attend Mass in-person that masks are expected to be worn, especially in Dallas County, but parishes will not single out or draw attention to those who are not wearing masks at Mass.

Everything which we possess, everything which we cherish is a blessing from God. Even those things which we are convinced that we obtained through our own industry or skill are in fact the result of the gifts of talent or opportunity, for which we owe the Lord our gratitude. Yet as beautiful as these things are, whether they are material or social or intellectual, or even spiritual, they pale in comparison to the Lord Himself. And if we grasp the delightful things of creation too tightly, we might miss the surpassing glory of God. Therefore, seek the Lord first.
Father Joseph
