Message from the Bishops of Ohio:

OBLIGATION TO ATTEND MASS IS REINSTATED.  Together, the Bishops of Ohio have decided that the general obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation (including the Sunday/Vigil Mass) is to be reinstated (CIC, can. 1247).  This will take effect in each of the Dioceses of Ohio the weekend of June 5-6, 2021.  As has always been the case, those who have a serious reason are exempt from attending Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation (Catechism of the Catholic   Church, 2181)  This includes those who are ill, have significant health risk factors or care for someone who is immune-compromised or ill, as well those who have significant fear or anxiety of contracting the coronavirus in a large group of persons.
