Bishop Thomas J. Tobin announced today that he has signed a formal decree restoring the obligation to attend Sunday Mass in the Diocese of Providence effective Sunday, June 6, 2021, the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. Bishop Tobin emphasized that since the pandemic lingers, some individuals are not obligated to attend Sunday Mass, and perhaps should not attend Sunday Mass to protect their health and safety, and that of others.
