A short while ago, President Trump made an unexpected announcement in which he called religious services to be essential. He also indicated that churches should be open this weekend for worship. While the President’s sentiments are welcome to many people of faith, the reality is that it is Friday. Implementing parish safety plans by tomorrow is unrealistic.
Bishop Daly asks that we maintain the status quo for the next few days and hopes to have further direction by Tuesday. He will continue consulting with local health experts and the bishops of Washington State as the final adjustments are made to the plan which will allow us to worship in a responsible manner.
We are getting close - please continue to be patient.
God bless,
Father Connall
