UPDATED SEPTEMBER 25, 2021: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to highly recommend indoor mask use in counties with high rates of transmission of COVID-19, even for vaccinated individuals.  Because all of the territory of the Fall River Diocese lies in these areas, the Diocese is also strongly encouraging all parishioners to follow the CDC guidance and wear a mask while attending Mass or other liturgical celebrations. This is particularly important for anyone with a weakened immune system, or at risk because of age or underlying medical condition, or someone who is unvaccinated. The recent uptick in virus transmission is a reminder that the pandemic has not yet passed, and continued vigilance is required. Thank you for your collective commitment to the overall good and health of the parish community.
