Sunday Obligation
In response to inquiries that we have received and after consultation with Dr. Ed Hogan and Archbishop Rozanski, we plan to issue the following statement concerning inclement weather and our Sunday Mass obligation.
With this weekend's expected winter storms, many Faithful have wondered, will Archbishop Rozanski be offering a dispensation for Saturday vigil and Sunday Mass? The short answer is that this is not necessary, because Canon Law addresses what to do in the event that it is impossible or unsafe to participate in the celebration of the Eucharist.
According to Canon 1248 §2: "If participation in the eucharistic celebration becomes impossible because of the absence of a sacred minister or for another grave cause, it is strongly recommended that the faithful take part in a liturgy of the word if such a liturgy is celebrated in a parish church or other sacred place according to the prescripts of the diocesan bishop or that they devote themselves to prayer for a suitable time alone, as a family, or, as the occasion permits, in groups of families."
What does this mean? Pay attention to weather reports, follow the guidance from local officials regarding travel and safety, and consider following along with a live-streamed Mass or engaging in prayer personally or with family, if travel is unsafe. Above all else, act prudently and make a conscious effort to set aside time for prayer and reflection with Christ.
You are welcome to send this statement to your parish communities or use this in response to questions you receive from the Faithful. Please also feel free to share this release on social media as well. It can be found on Facebook, Instagram, or X (formerly Twitter). Thank you.
Sincerely,
Brecht Mulvihill
Executive Director of Communications
Archdiocese of St. Louis
