LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - When will I be able to return to Mass? When will everything in my parish return to normal? The answer is complicated and it s difficult to provide much of an estimate, but spring or summer seems to be the most likely window for a return to Mass. A few pessimists suggest a return won t happen until the fall, or even 2022 at the earliest.
This isn t the first time the Church has sustained through a pandemic. The Church has survived worse disease outbreaks than this. But the key to surviving an outbreak is caution. While many parishes struggle to survive during the pandemic, imagine how hard it would be for them to survive if a significant number of parishioners perished as as result of getting sick at Mass. And so, the precautions remain.
