First and foremost all of what we do as we gather as Church, our public masses, functions, religious education and events, must prioritize the directions given by the State and Federal guidelines:
- Mississippi State Guidelines for Gathering
- CDC Guidelines for Gathering
- Overall guidance from MS: https://www.coronavirus.ms.gov/
During this time, we are all called to continue to minister to people and each other.

Subj: Masks at Holy Communion
Until now, the Bishop has asked Priests and other Ordinary/Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to wear a mask during the distribution of Holy Communion at Mass.
Effective immediately, Bishop Kihneman authorizes Pastors in the Diocese to make the wearing of masks during distribution of Holy Communion optional for some or all parish Masses. A Minister of Holy Communion, Ordinary or Extraordinary, may still choose to wear a mask if the Pastor has made it optional.
Ministers of Holy Communion should still sanitize their hands just prior to distribution of Holy Communion.
Pastors may dispense altar servers from any mask requirements.
Hand sanitizer and masks should still be made available for parishioners and visitors to use.
