The Diocese of San Angelo will move to Phase Two COVID-19 protocols on May 8, 2021. In Phase Two, facemasks for attendees are not mandated but are strongly encouraged, every pew may be used, and the social distance requirement of six feet will be reduced to three feet. The dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation will expire on the weekend of Pentecost Sunday, May 23, 2021, with certain exceptions. Each parish or mission cluster will be encouraged to offer at least one opportunity for people to attend Mass on Sundays or holy days of obligation with adherence to Phase One Protocols.
