Masses resumed

Public Masses resumed on May 25 within the Archdiocese of Washington in local jurisdictions that lifted restrictions.  On June 9, parishes in the District of Columbia, Prince George’s County and Montgomery County were given permission to begin to celebrate public Masses for up to ten persons including clergy. A pastor may delay if still needing time to prepare or wanting to wait until his jurisdiction allows greater numbers.

The dispensation issued by Archbishop Gregory from the obligation to attend Mass during this time remains in effect.
