Brief outline of COVID-19 DOSA Directives
Dispensation from Sunday Mass – has been indefinitely continued as of May 5th, 2020
By his authority as the diocesan bishop to dispense from universal ecclesiastical laws, Bishop Estévez has indefinitely dispensed from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass three categories of people for as long as the specific condition below continues:
- All who are sick and those who are caring for them
- Those who because of age or infirmity are at higher risk for contracting the coronavirus
- Those who have been exposed to the coronavirus because of travel or other circumstances
And to further protect public health and calm fears, Bishop Estévez has also dispensed all the Catholic faithful from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass until the suspension of Mass is rescinded.

A couple of days later, the old farmer was surprised to receive a post-card from his son and it read: Papa, please don’t dig the field. I...
14TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME: JESUS, WHERE ARE YOU?
Prophet Zechariah pictures the coming of the Savior/King as a time of peace. Jesus, the Savior/King, has come. We might ask, in light of all the turmoil in the world around us, where is the peace that he is supposed to bring? Our question brings to mind that Jesus told us: I do not give you the peace that the world gives. What then is the peace that Jesus brings? He tells us that his peace is...

A WALK THROUGH THE MASS: A STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION – 1
