Roman Catholic Province of Indianapolis Lifting of the Dispensation from the Obligation of Mass Effective 11 June 2021
The celebration of the Eucharist at Mass is the source and summit of our life and mission as Catholics.
As of March 2020, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, all Roman Catholics throughout the entire Province of Indianapolis, which comprises all five dioceses of Indiana, have been dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation. However, with the decrease of cases in our state, the widespread availability of vaccines and following the guidance of public health officials, we are now able to safely accommodate more parishioners for Masses. Therefore, effective June 11, the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, the general dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass is hereby lifted throughout the state of Indiana.
The obligation to attend Mass is a joyful one, reflecting the very character of who we are as Catholics.
New Appointment
OFFICIAL APPOINTMENT Archbishop Thompson has appointed Father Binu Mathew administrator of St. John Parish, Osgood. This appointment becomes effective on Wednesday, July 7. The last weekend Fr. Bill and Sister Shirley will be present for Mass there will be July 3. Your prayers are appreciated during this time of transition.

For the safety of everyone MASKS are requested. Thank You.
