On March 17 Bishop Jaime Soto issued a decree
suspending the public celebration of Sunday
and weekday Masses for the Diocese of Sacramento
until further notice. The dispensation to all members of the Catholic faithful
from the obligation to attend Mass will also continue until further notice.

Bishop Soto also reminds us all to properly Keep Holy the Lord’s Day.
Let us continue to pursue personal spiritual renewal and conversion.
These resources can help us do that.
