The Catholic bishops of Pennsylvania have issued a joint statement indicating that the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass, which went into effect in March 2020 – just as the pandemic significantly impacted all facets of life in the United States – will soon be lifted.
The bishops are reinstating the obligation to attend Mass in person on Sundays and holy days beginning Sunday, Aug. 15.
