Subject:  Mandatory Mask Wearing

In response to many concerns regarding the mandatory wearing of masks, please be advised:

The Department of Pastoral and Educational Services directs that all parish processes for adults, youth and children held inside any parish buildings comply with the mandatory mask wearing by all persons, those unvaccinated, and those vaccinated, until further notice.

The Diocese of Youngstown Liturgical guidance issued on August 20, reminds all unvaccinated persons of the requirement to wear masks while attending Mass or any parish function. Fully vaccinated persons, while not required, are strongly recommended to wear masks.

The Office of Catholic Schools guidelines, and the letter from Bishop Bonnar to parents announced a temporary mask mandate for all faculty, staff, students and visitors for our school buildings, as a sign of unity and a call to solidarity.

These directives are in harmony with the Center for Disease Control preventative strategies.

Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to learn how to best provide for the safety of all.
