Guidelines for Public Masses
During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Effective August 6, 2021
The Diocese of Scranton joyfully welcomes the faithful of the Diocese of Scranton to return to Masses at all of its
parishes. Despite the challenges of the last year, we invite those who have not yet returned to Mass to rejoin us in
person to celebrate the Holy Eucharist, the source and summit of the Christian life.
1. The Bishop is strongly recommending that all parishioners wear a mask while attending Mass – regardless of
vaccination status. While masks will not be mandated in our parishes at this time, we must all continue to be
vigilant against this emerging health threat. In fact, as Catholics, we have a responsibility to protect our friends
and neighbors. In order to safeguard our community, the Bishop has also requested that altar servers wear
masks and all Priests, Deacons, and Extraordinary Ministers return to wearing masks during the distribution of
Holy Communion.
2. Parishioners who have a pre-existing medical condition or are taking medications that weaken the immune
system, should talk to their healthcare provider to discuss their activities. They may need/want to continue
wearing masks and taking precautions while attending Mass.
3. Please use hand sanitizer upon entering the church.
4. The Sign of Peace be celebrated without physical contact.
5. Distribution of the Precious Blood remains suspended at this time.
6. Liturgical singing can take place without any restrictions. Cantors, quartets and choirs may be used without any
restrictions.
