As of today, March 12 2021, all diocesan safety protocols relating to COVID are rescinded. Pastors should be aware of guidelines in their particular county or municipality and develop parish guidelines as appropriate, given the demographics of their respective congregations as well as their own personal health situation. Likewise, there are no longer any diocesan guidelines for music ministry in the Archdiocese.
