Please unmask the children It is unhealthy for them on so many levels. OSHA and Johns Hopkins have documents proving this is unhealthy for children's developing brains that need oxygen. Please stop filtering rules by the state. What happened to "separation of church and state?"

When my child was forced to wear a mask she came home with headaches, no apatite and wanted to nap everyday. The masks are not about keeping anyone healthy.

Jesus calls us to serve no only one Master. It’s not worth my soul to serve two. Please renew your baptismal vows and reject Satan in all his empty works and promises. Masking and distancing is your submission to Satan.

Please....remember to whom we answer. Please stop disobeying Him. This is not right, ethical, just...or Catholic.

As Catholics we should be leaders not followers. Putting all our TRUST in God not man.

There is no evidence which would comply with the rules of evidence before court. Therefore, all medical interventions are based on here-say. Therefore these mandates are based on opinion, belief, or faith in some unknown man's opinion, Which is equivalent to a religion that is NOT my own.

If you aren’t able to stand up for the religious and medical freedom of your parishioners and students and families, then perhaps it’s time you step aside and let someone who will. It is not “virtuous” to wear a mask or comply with something under coercion.

Masking has become a religion. It is the belief of many that masks are effective against a virus based on what the CDC tells them, but it is my belief that a mask doesn’t work against a virus based on the irrefutable Scientific evidence that has been settled for years that has been provided to me by the “mask experts” the industrial hygienists who are the only profession credentialed in the field of masks and able to speak on their effectiveness. Like I said masking has become a religion and this religion and false belief a mask works is being forced on us and our children against our will. The separation of church and state is there for a reason. The government can not force everyone to practice ONE religion. Well that is exactly what they are doing! The government is forcing the religion of masks on everyone! There are risks to wearing masks and where there is a risk, there must always be a choice. What if the government forced all pubescent girls to take birth control using the same health code? Would you really throw up your hands and say well the health department said we had to and it’s the law and we have to follow it and say there is nothing you can do to stop it? My guess is no you wouldn’t. So why aren’t you standing up when it comes to these mask mandates? My conclusion is because you believe a mask is actually protecting you against a virus. It amazes me with all of the scientific evidence we have provided to you that a mask is ineffective against a virus and can cause more harm than good, that you continue to agree with it, knowing the truth! Would you continue to take a daily vitamin everyday after finding out the company that made them, made them out of sugar and there was no vitamins in them or health benefit whatsoever in taking them because the health department told you you had to keep taking them because they believed they would help? NO! You wouldn’t! You would throw them in the trash and say that’s insane! That’s exactly what they are doing wi

Let the family choose. 1 size does not fit all.

What is right for one family is not necessarily right for another. Do not force us to do what others think is best for our children. Please allow us our God given freedom to choose for our children.

Regardless of your beliefs on the science of masking, the choice belongs to the parent and the parent alone.

It saddens me how much our leadership is not defending our faith right now, as well as our freedoms. I hope you will begin to fight for what us parents are helping to protect.

We need a town hall meeting with people on both sides of this matter in attendance, which is the only way we'll ever be able to understand what others are thinking and perhaps find some common ground.

We will back you GRCD, please fight for us. There are so many children for their well being that need mask exemptions and can’t obtain them. Parents need to be able to exempt our kids from them w/o further documentation. Their are parents who feel more comfortable with their kids wearing them, and that’s fine! It should be a parental choice! Please help us, stand with us, do what you know is right and what our own church doctrine teaches about freedom and prudential judgment! Let’s not be safe & silent, let’s be leaders and Saints!
