Beginning February 26th, masks will no longer be required for priests, deacons, ushers and greeters.
Parishioners will also once again be invited to share the Sign of Peace by shaking hands, but the diocese is still restricting the shared cup of wine with communion.
All parish events, including fish fries, can be held in person. Th diocese will continue to livestream masses.
As for schools, students, faculty and staff in diocesan elementary and high schools can remove their masks inside buildings. But masking will still be required on buses, per a federal mandate.
