Listed below are some of the liturgical directives Cardinal DiNardo has released since the local pandemic situation has continued to improve. These directives take effect on Sunday, January 2, 2022, the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord.
General Dispensation from the Sunday and Holy Day Mass Obligation: This dispensation is removed for all Catholics within the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. The faithful should fulfill their Sunday and Holy Day obligations joyfully and conscientiously. At the same time, pastors should take care to remind the faithful that, from the law itself, the obligation to attend Mass on Sunday or a Day of Precept is not morally binding for those who find it impossible to attend Mass, e.g., due to illness, advance age, caring for a sick person, or being at high-risk for contracting COVID-19 (cf. CIC, 1248). These persons should fulfill their obligations through some act of prayer or meditation upon the sacred scriptures for the Mass of the day.
Reception of the Precious Blood from a Common Chalice: For the time being, the suspension of receiving the Precious Blood from a common chalice remains in effect.
Offertory Procession: Pastors are to resume the Offertory procession with the presentation of bread and wine.
Holy Water: Pastors are to resume the use of holy water in fonts and stoups. Holy water should be replenished frequently. In order to encourage safe and courteous use of holy water, an announcement may be given in these or similar words: “Since the pandemic situation has improved in our area, Cardinal DiNardo has restored the use of holy water in our churches. As a courtesy to one another, all are encouraged to sanitize their hands before using the holy water font.”
By Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, Archbishop of Galveston-Houston
