Message from Bishop Christopher Coyne to parishioners regarding the resuming of the celebration of Mass:
“It is with an abundance of joy and gratitude that I announce the first phase of the reopening of our churches to celebrate daily and Sunday Mass beginning June 1.
The obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains lifted until further notice, especially if you are part of a vulnerable population and/or have an underlying health condition.
- Please approach the celebration of Mass with charity and love for our clergy and faith community by following the protocols:
- Stay home if you are sick or not feeling well.
- Wear a mask in Mass.
- Sanitize your hands upon entry. Due to shortages of sanitizer, please bring your own if possible.
- Sit in designated pews and respect social distance between others of 6 feet or more unless you are one family unit.
- Refrain from congregating in tight areas or entering cordoned off areas.
- Follow the protocols to receive Holy Communion as directed at Mass.
- Follow your church protocols regarding registration if necessary due to the 25% capacity limit.
For more details about church protocols visit: vermontcatholic.org/covid-19
While these protocols are intrusive, they are necessary as they allow us to celebrate the Sacraments in person while doing our part to help stop the spread of coronavirus.”

Message from Bishop Christopher Coyne
Please watch the campaign video and learn why now, more than ever, the Catholic Church in Vermont needs to move forward with the Christ Our Hope: Building a Vibrant Church campaign. We cannot give up on the future of the parishes and ministries serving the faith community. Many parishes have seen significant downturns in funding, and they need our help; requests for emergency financial aid have increased; and the need to strengthen our Catholic education and faith formation programs has never been more important.
This campaign offers a wonderful opportunity for parishes to use 60 percent of the funds they raise to address specific parish needs with the other 40 percent to strengthen our faith formation programs and expand emergency aid to people in need. To learn more visit: christourhopevt.org
