Bishop Barber has given a dispensation for all Catholics in the Oakland Diocese from the obligation to attend Mass and receive the Eucharist.  This means anyone of any age is not obligated to attend mass or attend a Holy Communion service. Bishop Barber has also prohibited all Masses and events at all parishes until further notice. The parish is taking extra precautions to keep our facilities clean and as safe as possible.
