ANNOUNCEMENT:
EXCERPTS FROM THE MEMORANDUM FROM ARCHBISHOP SALVATORE CORDILEONE (Dec. 18, 2020)
"Given the consistent direction of [the] court decisions in the Diocese of Brooklyn and since, we are interpreting the Governor’s order together with the court decisions to mean that under the Constitution, houses of worship have to be treated at least as well as retail, which for us in California means 20% indoor capacity at this time."
"While this comes as welcome news, I hasten to remind us all that court rulings do not change the science. In the midst of this continuing pandemic, it is always much safer to hold large gatherings outdoors. I therefore ask you to continue to celebrate Mass outdoors (or to start if you haven’t yet) whenever possible."
"At the same time, we cannot rely on this always being the case. Therefore, if in your best judgment it would be safer for your people to have Mass indoors rather than outdoors, you may bring them into the church for Mass observing the 20% capacity rule and all of the safety protocols of the Archdiocese. The determination of safety may depend not only on the weather (e.g., rain, cold or wind) but other factors as well, such as security (e.g., Mass after nightfall in certain neighborhoods) and avoidance of bodily harm (e.g., a large group in a limited outdoor space immediately next to a street during peak traffic hours)."
"I want to emphasize once again how absolutely important it is to follow the safety protocols to the last detail: social distancing, face coverings, windows and doors open for ventilation, singer(s) (if there is music) set apart in a separate area, and all the rest."
Since it's starting to get cold outdoors and it's raining more frequently, the Masses will be held inside the church for now.
