Sunday Obligation: The Bishops of England and Wales have issued a statement regarding returning to mass. The bishops speak of participation in the Holy Mass as a beautiful hallmark of our Catholic faith. They go on to say that the pressing challenges of the pandemic have lessened significantly and they therefore conclude that the reasons that prevent Catholics from attending mass on a Sunday no longer apply. Regarding the live streaming of mass, whilst acknowledging that this is a source of spiritual comfort, they state that “Virtual viewing” of mass online does not fulfil the Sunday obligation. In conclusion, the basic message from the bishops is that the suspension of the obligation to attend mass will be lifted as from today the Pentecost Sunday (5th June). Please pass on this information throughout our community, especially to those who may not see the newsletter
