Mass dispensation to be lifted June 5-6

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

In March of 2020, in collaboration with the bishops in Kansas, and in response to the emerging Covid-19 pandemic and the potentially deadly effect it was likely to have, I decided to suspend public Masses in the Diocese of Wichita. At that time, a general dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass was given to the laity. On May 6, 2020, public Masses were resumed with restrictions that have been monitored and modified since then. For those who needed it, the general dispensation has remained throughout this time.

Now, again in consultation with my brother bishops in Kansas, with my own leadership team, and with our priests, I announce that the general dispensation for the laity of the Diocese of Wichita will be lifted on the weekend of June 5-6, 2021, the Feast of Corpus Christi, the Body and Blood of Christ.
