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.

The disciples, who did not want to hear about Jesus’ rejection and death, instead decided to argue about who was the greatest of His followers. Maybe they were hoping that in the end, Jesus’ mission would more closely resemble the worldly victory for which they hoped. Jesus responded by teaching them to serve the most vulnerable and weak if they truly aspired to greatness. We may have our own opinions about spiritual success or harbor ambitions regarding a position in work or even in the parish. But to be truly great, we must be of real service to those who can do nothing for us.
Father Joseph
